The Summary Page

After logging in, you'll be presented with your chosen initial page. By default, this is a summary page which provides a quick summary of all your important Horde groupware application information. For example, it might show how many new email messages you have in your INBOX (or other folders you select), upcoming events on your calendar, tasks from your tasks lists, headlines from selected news services, current weather, stock quotes, and so on.

Many summary page items also have quick shortcut icons which allow you quickly access common functions without having to go to the specific application first. For example, there may be such shortcut icons to compose a new mail message, create a new calendar event, task or memo, etc.

The contents of the summary page are customizable via the Options settings. For example, you can choose which items to include on the summary page as well as in which order they are shown. You can also set a refresh interval for the summary page.

You can change which page is your initial page at login, for example setting your initial page to be your email or calendar. However, most people find the summary page useful once they have customized it to their interests.
