You can also add the Create Change Request button to the page layout; however, this is normally excluded by default.

Customizing the Home Page Layout

The PSE Links home page component contains links to pages within PSA that allow you to carry out key actions, such as logging a timecard with task time or approving multiple expenses. Users can't access these links by clicking the plus icon (+) to view all available tabs to you, so it's important that you add the component to the common home page layout.

To add the PSE Links component to the home page layout:

  1. From Setup click Customize | Home | Home Page Layouts.
  2. Click the name of the home page layout that you want to edit.
  3. Click Edit.
  4. Select the PSE Links checkbox in the Select Narrow Components to Show section.
  5. Click Next.
  6. Define the order the components and click Save.
