4.2 Introducing CMS
On successful login, the main Summary page automatically displays. This is the Home page and it displays information about all of your communities, based on your preferences. For more information on preferences, see Section 4.6, Setting Preferences.
When you first log in to the CMS, you won’t yet be a member of any communities and because of this, there won’t be any information to display. You could have a couple of invitations in your Inbox to join communities. After you join, you’ll automatically see information about these communities in your pages.
Figure 4-1 shows the Home page and gives a quick look at the layout and some of the features in CMS:
