* A [wiki/User user] can indicate that a specific dashboard should be their “home page” within their '''home page '''within [[wiki/SmartSimple SmartSimple]], giving giving them an immediate view of key information from the system when they first log in.
* Each dashboard needs to be permissioned to the [wiki/Role roles] you wish to be able to see the dashboard.
===Tables===
In order to make the creation of reports a little simpler, some of the [wiki/SmartSimple SmartSimple] tables are presented in a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denormalization denormalized] format when using the '''[wiki/Report_Builder_Column_Settings Report Builder]'''.
For example, the contact record does not contain the company name; these two tables are linked at the database level through the '''CompanyID''' field. So contact table does not contain the company name field but rather a key field that links to the company table.
But when you use the contact table within the '''[wiki/Report_Builder_Column_Settings Report Builder]''' it will display a field '''Company Name.''' This means that you can use this field without needing to link the two tables together.
