Question

Return to Landing Page

Hi Everyone,

I'm currently working on a group of applications that represent different departments of the same company. We've  also implemented a Landing Page for unifying the access to a single link.

The challenge I'm facing is a request to be able to return to the Landing Page from each department site. Since for each department we're using different Site objects, it's not possible to have a 'Home' on the top ribbon that allows to return to Landing Page. We can return to the interface but the other pages/page groups remain visible and the request is to have them hidden. Obviously we can create a custom link or button somewhere in the site to allow the users to return to landing page but I haven't found any good front end ideas to do this in an organic manner. By the way, the users don't prefer the icon that shows the different sites on the top right, they even requested it's removal but I don't think that's possible. 

This is the header we're using for every page in the application: 

Have you guys dealt with a similar use case? 

Thanks in advance

This is the only way, providing a user with a link (which holds site url of parent site) . May be this picture helps, like on footer give him option to route between various sites...(home included)

    Interesting, we could provide a custom ribbon on the green header for navigating to the different departments. I'll try to figure out some way to not make the header too noisy.

    I am assuming here that you are talking about role based sites, but you want everyone to navigate to a common place when they click on the home tab? Your requirement is not so clear. Can you try to break down what you mean by return to landing page and not see the other tabs

    Yes, each site has it's own corresponding group. 

    I'll break it down for you:

    • We have a starting Landing Page containing cards that correspond to a department/group. In this initial page, the department specific Site Pages obviously aren't visible. They become visible after choosing the department. 
    • Suppose after clicking 'Department 1' we arrive to it's specific site with it's pages and page groups. The requirement is to have an organic, comfortable UX, for returning to the initial Landing Page in order to navigate to another department ( since a user can be part of more than one group )

    The question more about the front-end design rather than technical implementation.

    As a follow-up, the final solution we chose was to add a custom navigation menu on the header of all site pages: 

    This way users can navigate to their department of interest from anywhere in the app, and can always return to homepage through the custom home icon.
