Remember the last page
By default, logging in to mxWeb will put you on the landing page. With the "Remember the page I was on after I login" option, you can change that behaviour to go somewhere you more frequently go.
Always login to the default mxWeb page
This option is the default and will login to the main landing page of mxWeb every time.
Automatically return to the last section I was in
With this option enabled, mxWeb will attempt to return to the last main product page you had accessed. This may not return to the exact form or document you had open, but will get you to that section.
Let me choose which page to return to after login
If this option is set, you will get a new menu option in the main "mxWeb" menu. To use it:
- Navigate to the product screen you wish to set as your login destination page
- From the toolbar, open the first menu on the left (typically named after the currently open product or tool)
- Select the "Set as home page" menu option
After this point, logging in will take you to that screen.
