"Applications Start Page" feature provides a user an option to set a particular page as his/her preferred start. The user will be taken to this page at login.

A user can choose from the set of functions available under his/her responsibilities. The value is recorded in a profile option named "Applications Start Page (APPLICATIONS_START_PAGE)" as
"functionId$$$respId$$$appId".

Usage of the Feature

ž	Make sure the profile "Self Service Personal Home Page Mode" is set to "Framework only" at site level or at user level for which user you intend to provide "Applications Start Page" feature
ž	Login to Applications as the End user
ž	Navigate to Preferences link on top of the page.
ž	You can find a section "Start Page" under General Preferences page.  Select the Responsibility from which you would like to choose the Function (For e.g. Payables Super User). It then lists the functions available for this user under this responsibility.  Choose the Function as Start page (e.g, Invoices). Apply the changes.
ž	Logout and Log back in. Your Start Page is now effective.

After personalizing the 'start page' to directly open a Form, how do I reset the User Preferences and the start page?

Disabling the Feature

ž	When you are on Self-service Framework page, you can Navigate to Preferences Link and de-select the values (choose blank) for Responsibility and Page drop down lists.
ž	When you are in Forms based Applications, navigate to menu  Edit => Preferences => Profile
ž	Search for "Applications Start Page", remove the value from User Value field and Save.
ž	Next time when you login to Applications, you get Self-service Framework Homepage.

After logging in, replace the login link with:
http://<initial part of path>/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?OAFunc=OAHOMEPAGE

This should get you to the Personal Home Page.

OR

Either use the Responsibility Hat to change to the System Administrator responsibility or Login as another user and have them use the System Administrator responsibility.

Then do a find for the Start Page profile option: Profile > System  for the User Name that is needing to reset their 'Start Page' profile.

Delete the start page for the user, save the changes. This will allow the user to get back to the Personal Home Page, and then they can reset their 'Start Page'.
