Tile Library

Purpose

The Tile Library lets you customize your home screen with various tiles to support your unique workflow. These tiles are designed to help you save time in MetaField—and keep tabs on important info related to your projects and role.

Note: Some tiles are only available to users with a certain role (e.g., Project Managers or Lab Staff). To adjust your access to role-specific tiles, please contact your System Administrator.


Adding & Managing Tiles

From the Tile Library, you can add, remove, or re-order your home screen tiles in seconds. See video.

  • Preview a Tile: Press the 'eye' icon (👁️) next to the tile name & description
  • Add or Remove a Tile: Check or un-check it in the Tile Library
  • Rearrange Tiles: click and drag checked tiles into the sequence you want (top to bottom)

Once you've finished adjusting your tiles, press Apply. This will instantly apply and save your changes.
