Missing a tile?
If a tile isn't automatically on your homepage, you may be able to find it by searching. For assistance with adding tiles, see MyUW - Searching and Customizing MyUW Homepage.
If you are unable to find a tile by searching, your account is likely missing a specific role or piece of identifying information that is necessary to access some tiles.
For assistance with accessing missing tiles, please contact help@doit.wisc.edu.
Internal MyUW Portal Team Note:
MyUW determines default content for a user through its "Layout Service". The layout service relies upon a myuw-layout-defaults program to compute each user's default layout.
That program is in git.doit source control and viewing the raw program is the way to see the truest, most technically detailed definition of the defaults rules. Those are the rules as they're really running on the server.
Also, that project in git.doit source control includes documentation.
