Coming Soon: Custom Homepage will be released to all libraries in September 2026. Administrators will have access first, followed by end users.
For more information, please contact your MediaValet representative.
What is Custom Homepage?
MediaValet's Custom Homepage replaces the default “recently uploaded assets” view that used to greet every user at login. In its place is a homepage that surfaces the content, shortcuts, and context that actually matter to each person the moment they sign in — so users spend less time hunting through the library and more time using what they came for.
Where is my Homepage?
Your homepage is where you will land when you first login. It will be the top tab on your left side menu.
Two layers: admin-curated, then user-personalized
Custom Homepage works in two layers. First, a DAM admin configures the organization-wide experience — deciding what different teams or groups should see when they land on the homepage. Then, on top of that admin-configured foundation, each individual user can personalize their own view further, pinning the categories and saved searches they use most.
Marketing might see their campaign assets front and center. Sales might see their latest presentations. Everyone is looking at the same Custom Homepage feature, but the experience is shaped around who's logged in.
What admins configure
Admins control two widgets that apply across their organization, or to specific groups within it:
- Featured Resources – categories and saved searches that admins pin to specific groups, so each team's homepage highlights the content relevant to their work.
- Useful Links – organization-wide links, each with its own title, description, and URL, for things users need quick access to outside the asset library itself.
Because these are configured through pinning rather than a page-builder, admins don't need design skills or dedicated tooling to set up a tailored experience — it's a matter of choosing what to pin, and who sees it.
What happens automatically
One widget needs no configuration at all:
- Pick Up Where You Left Off – shows each user's own recent activity, so they can return to what they were working on.
What users personalize themselves
The My Favorites widget belongs to the individual user. Anyone can pin the categories and saved searches they personally rely on, independent of whatever an admin has already configured — this is self-service, and doesn't require any admin involvement.
Because both admins and users can pin content to the homepage, MediaValet distinguishes between the two: admin-configured pins appear greyed out, while a user's own pins appear darker. A user can't unpin something an admin has already pinned and configured at the homepage level.
Why it works this way
Some DAM homepage builders on the market are fully do-it-yourself — drag-and-drop tools that can take significant admin time and design skill to configure well. Custom Homepage takes a different approach: it's curated rather than built from scratch, so an admin can stand up a tailored landing experience for their whole organization in minutes, without learning a dedicated page-builder tool. Users then take it the rest of the way, making their own corner of the homepage work for them.
