When users log into Salesforce, they are logging into their Home page. This is a natural place from which they can launch many guides. Any guide, however, that is launched from a Home page does not have a context; that is, the guide does not apply to any object. (If it applied to the object, it would appear on the object's page.) Consequently, home page guides are often used to create Salesforce objects.
To place a guide on the user's home page, set the Applies To field within the Guide Properties dialog to Home.
