The home page is the first page within your Viart HelpDesk that your visitors will see.
With the exception of the header (see section 4.3.3) and the greeting (see details)
the whole page consists of so called 'blocks'. As a rule, it includes several predefined blocks, but you may add multiple custom ones. All blocks are positioned dynamically and may be located in one of three columns: left, middle and right.
Note: for more information about custom blocks please see details.
In order to set up the main page layout please go to Administration > Layouts > Home Page Layout.
