## Behavior

### Default Dashboard

For users who have access to a large number of projects but only keep up with a
select few, the amount of activity on the default Dashboard page can be
overwhelming.

Changing this setting allows the user to redefine what their default dashboard
will be. Setting it to **Starred Projects** will make that Dashboard view the
default when signing in or clicking the application logo in the upper left.

The default is **Your Projects**.
