Instructions to set a specific page view as the default page view for a specific sub-page in MinistryPlatform.

  • You must be an administrator or SPoC to do this.
  • The default view must be a sub-page view selected in the sub-page.
  • The default view cannot be a shared view; it must be a system-wide view.
Set a default page view for a specific sub-page (tab) so that when your users go to the sub-page, it is the the view the page opens to.

  2. Click to open the sub-page you want to add the default sub-page view to.
  3. Click Edit Record.

  5. Click Save.
Now when anyone navigates to the sub-page you selected, the sub-page view you selected will display on that sub-page.
