betodealmeida opened a new issue #5327: New welcome page URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/issues/5327 The current welcome page — the page the user is redirected to when visiting the Superset root URL — is not functional, since it shows a list of dashboards for all users sorted by modification time. As Superset adoption grows inside a company, the welcome page becomes even less useful, with a reduced signal to noise. At Lyft we discussed using a dashboard as the welcome page for our users, with a special configurable widget that displays tagged content. This requires some additions to Superset: # Tags Saved queries, charts and dashboards would be able to be tagged by owners, using a [react-tag-autocomplete](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-tag-autocomplete). This would help with the organization of content, allowing users to create "virtual workspaces" (a feature that has been requested from our users), and would also be surfaced in a global search input. These assets would also have "implicit" system tags, created and updated automatically. For example, a dashboard created by me (@betodealmeida) and favorited by @mistercrunch would have these system tags: - `type:dashboard` - `owner:betodealmeida` - `favorited_by:mistercrunch` Note that we use a colon as the separator. Regular, user-added, tags would be prohibited from having colons in their names. # Tagged object viewer (viz type or native dashboard) A new dashboard widget would be created, either as a new visualization type or as a native dashboard component. This allows users to specify a list of tags, select object types (queries, charts, dashboards). Resulting matches would be shown in a table, with links: <img width="1680" alt="screen shot 2018-07-02 at 3 38 58 pm" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1534870/42189640-20e2509a-7e0e-11e8-9ae6-86b5db04cebb.png";> # Welcome dashboard Admins would be able to create a dashboard, and have it as a template for new users — every new user would own a copy of that dashboard. This is useful for displaying company metrics, display welcome messages (using the Markup widget), and have a better onboarding experience. This would be achieved by adding a variable to `config.py`, *e.g.*, `WELCOME_DASHBOARD_TEMPLATE`, pointing to a dashboard id. # Custom welcome page Currently users are redirected to `http://example.com/superset/welcome` when visiting the root URL for Superset. This would be configured in `config.py`, and in our deployment would point to the welcome dashboard. # Non-goals ## Redesign user page We all seemed to agree that the user page (`http://example.com/superset/profile/$username/`) is not very functional and could be improved. This is **not** part of this proposal.
