Can I set a redirect for a user after they log in?

By default, anyone logging in by going directly to your website login page will be taken to the main dashboard. However, there are cases when an administrator would like to redirect users to a specific page. Administrators can go to the actual intranet page and copy the full URL they want a user to be redirected to.

Two ways to redirect users to desired pages

  • Link on a public page: The URL can be posted on a public page of your website. For example, you can add a link in your header, footer or even have a dedicated "Staff Resources" page.
  • Set up a bookmark: If you do not want the link publicly on your website, share the URL with your staff through email. Ask them to make it a bookmark on their computer. They can use the bookmark to be taken to that page within your intranet.

In both cases, when the URL is invoked, if the user is not logged in, they will be asked to. After logging in, they will be redirected to the original URL.

Please note if a staff member does not use either way, to log into your site, they will be taken to the SchoolNow dashboard. Where they will have to first click "Intranets" in the left menu and then navigate to the desired page.
