Landing Pages
-------------

A landing page is the page you see when you log in, or when clicking the **Home** button 
from anywhere in the system, or when choosing a menu item that has been defined as a landing page.

A default landing page ships with the system, and is associated with pre-defined roles in
the hierarchy, for example Provider, Customer, and Site administrators.

Landing pages may be customized for different user roles, and have several configuration 
options:  

* Add shortcut links to frequently used functionality
* Enhance the look and feel on the user's Admin Portal
* Add images and links in vertical or horizontal patterns with unlimited boxes and 
  shortcuts

Editable landing pages provide a way to set up direct links
to areas in the system, which can be used as short-cuts by the administrators in
line with their role.

Existing images can be used or new images can be added in line with branded
look and feel.

You may clone (copy) existing landing pages and then create a new landing page based on pre-populated 
settings, or the landing page can be exported, edited exernally, and then re-imported. Designers 
with access to the tag function can use tag versions to uniquely identify different landing 
pages, and to track and control changes. 

The CSS of the Theme can be used to control the layout of the landing page.
