How to reset customization of default home view in IBM Cognos 11.0.5 to default welcome page - customization

While testing customization of Cognos 11.0.5 I've tried to make a dashboard the default home page following the steps in IBM knowledge center Here
On the Views tab of the Managing > Customization slide-out panel, click next to the default home view. You can now browse for a dashboard or report to be the default home view, or you can select a view in the list of home views to be the default home view for all users.
It worked well, but I made a dire mistake of replacing the selected dashboard with a newer developed version (copy-to --> overwrite), hence I think the default view is pointing to a no-longer-existing object (different new ID)
Cognos is now throwing error after sign-in that home page cannot be retrieved. I have been able to access it back using URL <webserver_name>:<port_number>/bi/?factoryMode=true

BUT what I'm struggling with is setting the default home page in "View" tab of the Managing > Customization back to home or another dashboard, instead, it is now BLANK with no settings to adjust neither "home page" nor "sign-in page" shows up!
I've tried to apply the default "IBM" theme again, restarting Cognos application but no go. the settings seem vanished in the "View" tab! Is there any way to reset the incorrect settings in the content server or the configuration manager?
Update: found settings under \ibm\cognos\analytics\configuration\data\flipper\config\global
That has the home page pointing configuration for the dispatcher to the perspective but still missing the "Views" settings from UI, looks it would require product support.

Master page showing unexpectedly

When I am clicking on the upload button in document web, inside that the section master page is showing (which should not).
How to remove this either in SharePoint designer or SharePoint 2013 itself?
Also, the site settings is showing up on home page (but it should show in a separate new page).
Screeshots:
It looks like you have a custom master page that is missing much of the core structure of a master page. In particular, an out of the box master page responds to a Query String value of "?IsDlg=1" to control if master page content is displayed in SharePoint dialog boxes along with primary page content.
To see this, go to a site without this custom master page and visit a list or library page. Edit the URL and, if there's no Query String (i.e. no "?" in the URL, add "?IsDlg=1" (no quotes), or if there is a query string add "&IsDlg=1" (no quotes). Notice the difference in the displayed content.
Something is missing from your custom master page. Either the lack of standard CSS classes or missing JavaScript references.
Can you reset the master page back to one of the out of the box master pages and check to see if everything is now working.
As the the Site Settings, someone must of added an IFRAME or a Page Viewer web part to the home page and set the URL to the Site Settings page.

What is the simplest way to create a page tab on the latest version of fb?

All I want to do is create a few pages with sign up forms for our fans and customers on our business facebook page.
I created the new app, named it and went on to the basic settings. From what I can tell I just need to set up the "page tab" info. I Named the tab, put in the page tab url, secure page tab url and uploaded a tab image.
Then I wait for it to show up on our fb page. I refresh the page and for a few seconds it looks like something is being loaded in the list of tabs. But then it stops and the layout of default tabs (photos, likes, and events) are unchanged.
The tab should link to the app url which should load inside of an iframe which will have the html from our web server.
That's how I understand it anyways.
You must add manually the application on your page through this URL: http://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=APP_ID&redirect_uri=https://www.facebook.com/
Remember to replace APP_ID first.

Sitecore 6.4: User Profile Start URL and Workbox

I have a requirement to present the user the Workbox when logging into the sitecore administration interface. I've identified that this can be done by setting the user profile Start URL to /sitecore/shell/applications/workbox.aspx.
This works - when the user logs in they get the workbox, but the Logoff link is missing from the top menu (which is there when you access the workbox via the Content Editor - but I notice not if you access it via the Menu item).
Is there any way of getting this Logoff button back, or adding a custom one?
I've checked it in Sitecore 6.6 and there is no logout button in workbox by default as well.
The fix for this is very easy. Login to the Sitecore desktop, switch to the 'core' database, open the Content Editor and navigate to the node:
/sitecore/content/Applications/Workbox/Ribbon/Home/Write/Logoff
There is a field 'Click' with value 'workbox:logout'. Just change the value to 'system:logout' and the logout button will be there.
