How to Change Admin Login Redirection

[Walter]

How do I change the redirection url of logging into the admin login page? For example, logging into admin page redirects me to the Orders page instead of the Dashboard. Thanks in advance

Just edit your employee profile, scroll to "default page" field option and select admin page as you wish.

Thanks. Another question, if I were to set the default page to a custom module's page, what should I do? The dropdown did not show options for it...

You can set default page to "Modules" but you cannot redirect to specific module configuration page.

You can also set default page to specific "Admin Module Page" if it already registered as an Admin Menu.

If you still wanna set default page to specific module configuration page, then you must do several changes as follow :

1. create module admin controller file simply with just a __construct() method and add redirection inside it

   <?php
   
   class Admin[REPLACE_WITH_MODULE_NAME]ConfigController extends ModuleAdminController
   {
       public function __construct()
       {
           parent::__construct();
   
           Tools::redirectAdmin(
             $this->context->link->getAdminLink('AdminModules').
             '&module_name=[replace_with_module_name]&configure=[replace_with_module_name]'
           );
       }
   }

    

2. create new Admin Menu pointing to the newly created module controller (Admin > Administration > Menu)
   Name: "as you wish"
   Class : "Admin[REPLACE_WITH_MODULE_NAME]ConfigController"
   Module : "real_module_name"
   Status : YES
   Parent: Home
3. edit your admin profile
4. you will see the new Admin Menu on the dropdown of "Default Page" field option
5. select the newly created menu as your default page

It works. Thanks! 

However, what I did was just by specifying the target module's controller name in the method below instead of 'AdminModules'.

Tools::redirectAdmin(
          $this->context->link->getAdminLink('Admin[Module Name]').
        );
