This article walks through how to create a Welcome tab that users are directed to when they access your Recreation Management Catalog. A Welcome tab is a great way to provide users with information about your organization, such as upcoming events, registration policies, or tips for using the Catalog.
Important Note:
If no items are assigned to a Catalog tab, the system will skip over it and take the user directly to the first catalog tab that has active items. If you would like users to be directed to the Welcome tab first, you will need to make sure items are added to that tab.
