Team Foundation Server 2010 Portal - changing the default page

Question

Hello,

I want to change the default page that comes up when I go to my TFS Portal.

Currently when I  type:

http://slc-tfs/sites/ld/ssm/default.aspx

I get instead:

http://slc-tfs/sites/ld/SSM/Dashboards/Testing.aspx

I cannot find out how to modify the default page.  I've looked for Default.aspx, and not been able to find it.

Is there some configuration option that allows me to change what the redirection of the main page?  I know it's somewhere, but I have looked in vain trying to find it.

Answer 1

If you are planning to change this at the site level then does the below screen shot help?

Select Site Settings and then chose the option Look and Feel, this should get you the page shown below where you should be able to change the default url for your site. 

Or if its the default page of the dashboard you should be able to follow this up from the dashboard setting page, screen shot below,

If however you wanted to change the complete site you should be able to go to the team administration console on the tfs server and chose Team Project Collection and then Sharepoint site in the lower panel to change the default site location. 

In case there are follow up questions, don't hesitate to add to the thread.

Thanks for this information, but it does not answer the issue I'm having.

 

I want to change the default Dashboard. Here is the Dashboard that comes up when I select to display the Project Portal:

Here is the list of Dashboards:

What I'm always seeing is the Testing Dashboard.  What I want to see is the Engineering Dashboard.

I don't know how to change the default dashboard.

There is a post by Aaron Bjork (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/aaronbjork/archive/2009/10/06/setting-a-default-dashboard-in-tfs-2010.aspx) but I don't see a Set  as Default Page option.
