Automatically Assign Personal Starting Page by User Data

1 Requirements

By now, the Personal Starting Page can either be configured globally or be made subject to users' individual choice.
However, it is not possible to automatically assign it according to specific user data like:

• Institution / Department
• Country (preferably the select version)
• User-defined fields (preferably select fields)
• Language

A feature like that would be very helpful in order to redirect users immediately to a view like their department's or country's category (or similar).
 
It would be necessary to make sure that the function:

• Is elapsed if the respective user data field is empty for a specific user.
• Reacts to subsequent changes of the respective user data field (at least after the next login of the user).

The feature could be placed as a sub-option of the setting "Administration > General Settings > Personal Starting Page":

• Checkbox "Automatically Assign by User Data".
• If the checkbox is activated, a drop-down appears offering all default or custom user data field (maybe only those of the select type).
