Basically it's done now, just need to clean up the code a bit and push the solution to the repo.. My idea was to let users (admins in our case) to be presented with the overview page the first time they venture to admin area. Then they can opt not to see that page ever again, but instead see another one of their choice. The idea was in the air for long time now but the proper implementation only became possible recently, after introduction of the user module variables (true multi-admin environment).. So now every administrator should have own preferences, without imposing his/her choice on the others. Each module could also have 'Preferences' page where admin could configure the available options to match his workflow and/or be able to 'Reset' to defaults. Hope this solution would be sufficient and can be replicated in all admin-capable modules in the near future. Regards, Andy.
