Altus Home Page

Altus supports both the new My Work homepage and the legacy Landing Page experience. This allows organisations to manage the transition between home page experiences without impacting existing user workflows.

Organisation-level control

A global setting is available to control which homepage experiences are accessible across the organisation.

When enabled (default):

• Both MyWork and LandingPage widgets are available.
• Users can toggle between the two in the Altus dashboard.

When disabled:

• The Landing Page widget and toggle are hidden.
• All users see the My Work homepage.

Changes to this setting take effect immediately users only need to refresh the page.

Widget-based architecture

Both homepage experiences are delivered as dashboard widgets:

My Work widget

• Provides a task-focused view of user work (overdue, current, upcoming).

More information on how to configure this widget can be found here.

Landing Page widget

• Existing homepage experience, now hosted within the dashboard as a widget.
• Retains full functionality from the original web resource implementation.

More information on how to configure this widget can be found here.

My Work

The My Work widget on the home page in Altus provides a personalised view of your assigned work items.

Altus Home Configuration

• The out of the box registers (such as Issues, Risks, Deliverables, Decisions, and Change Requests) are already setup within this configuration.
• Administrators can configure which registers appear on the My Work page.

When setting up or editing a register for the My Work page, you will need to fill in several key fields to ensure items display correctly:

• Register: Select the register you want to configure (e.g., Issues, Risks).
• Active Assigned View: Choose the view that shows active items assigned to the user (e.g., My Active Issues).
  • The Active Assigned View should provide, at a minimum:
    • The name of the register item
    • The due date of the register item
    • The status of the register item
  • Additionally, configure the view to filter items so that users only see "Active" items relevant to them.
  • For example, with the out-of-the-box risk register, the Active Assigned View is "My Active Risks". This view applies the following filters:
    • Assigned to: Equals current user
    • Status reason: Equals Active
• Name Field: Specify the field that indicates the name of the item (e.g., Risk Name). This must be present on the Active Assigned View.
• Date Field: Select the field that indicates when an item should be completed (e.g., Due Date). This column must be present on the Active Assigned View.
• Lookup Field: Choose the lookup field that links the item to a related record (e.g., Project). This column must be present on the Active Assigned View.
• Status Field: Specify the field that describes the status of the item (e.g., In Progress, Completed). This column must be present on the Active Assigned View.

Completing these fields ensures that your work items are correctly displayed on the My Work page.

Note

If the My Work widget is showing incorrect records, check your Active Assigned Views to ensure they’re configured correctly.
