# Create app home pages

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Home pages are limited in functionality. Use [dashboards](/v1/docs/using-dashboards) for a more robust view of your data across multiple apps and sources.

When you [create an application from scratch](/v1/docs/creating-apps-from-scratch) and open it for the first time, Quickbase displays a default app [Home page](/v1/docs/using-the-app-home-page) that contains a list of reports on the left side of the page and an **Info** box that contains information about the application on the right side.

You can get a lot more out of your app's Home page than that. [Customize the Home Page](/v1/docs/customize-the-app-home-page) to provide your users with quick access to the information they need. You choose which reports or information to display. You can even create different Home pages for different kinds of users. For example, maybe your sales staff would like to see their current opportunities and a schedule of the day's calls, while your service staff needs to see a list of open customer support issues. To do so, you'd create the pages, then [associate each Home page with a role](/v1/docs/associate-app-home-pages-with-roles).

Tip: If users will be accessing the application on mobile devices, read [tips for making these pages mobile-friendly](/v1/docs/tips-for-building-mobile-apps#dashboard).

## Create an app home page

1. Select **App settings** in the sidebar, then select **+** above **Pages**.
2. Select **Home Page**, then select **Create**.
3. In the **Page Name** field, type a name for the page.

This name helps you identify the page later when you'll want to edit, copy, or delete it.
4. [Customize the Home page](/v1/docs/customize-the-app-home-page).
5. To see what your new Home page looks like, select **Preview** on the Page bar.
6. When you are satisfied with the results, select **Save** on the Page bar.
