Magento: Change Admin Landing / Startup Page

Here is a quick tip to change the landing or startup page of Magento Admin. I mean to say, when you login to Magento Admin, you land up on Dashboard page. You can change it to any page you like.

For example, you might want to see Orders page (Sales -> Orders) just after you login to Magento admin instead of the Dashboard page.

Here is how you do it:

– Login to Magento Admin.
– Go to System -> Configuration -> ADVANCED -> Admin -> Startup page
– Select Startup page = Orders
– Save Config
– Logout
– Login

Now, you should be able to see Orders page instead of Dashboard page.

Hope it helps. Thanks.
