Hi All, 

I currently have a view navigation set up to display different sections. I'm having trouble setting the view I want opened and loaded at the start. I don't want the first item in the views navigation open. Instead, I'd like to have the third option open when a user opens the link.

 

Below is an example I found that is exactly what I am looking for:

This example is showing the default initial view of an app as soon as it loads. The map layers widget in the 4th space in the view navigation is already selected and open.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Colin

Opening a specific View can be done with URL Parameters. 

If they aren't doing that, they are probably doing something like this Widget Controller hack.
