Change Enterprise Service Management Default Desktop

Overview

Within the Enterprise Service Management (ESM) system individuals can easily change which desktop is displayed by default when they login to the system. This article will provide instructions in changing the default desktop; however, it assumes that two, or more desktops, have already been associate with the person's identity. If only one desktop has been assigned to, or created by, the individual they will be unable to change the default desktop until another one is associated with their account.
