The Home page is the portal to your personal workspace in the cloud. This page displays the most recently opened project names in your Xpedition Viewer application account and provides access to your account information and settings. The console surrounding the workspace includes controls that help you navigate the various pages where you can access project data and associated ancillary files uploaded to the cloud and information regarding users in your collaboration group.

When you sign in to the Xpedition Viewer application, the Home page displays the most recently opened projects. You can also click Home to display the page.

By default, you have administrator rights to your personal workspace. Your home directory cannot be deleted or renamed.

Standard tier customers can invite other users to view a design in a viewer. For more information, see User Roles.

Functionality available in the Xpedition Viewer application depends on the tier model you registered for and selected (Community or Standard). For more information on tier model definitions, see What is the Xpedition Viewer Application.
