What is a "profile index page"?

This term has appeared in relation to the Profile Tweaks module.

Can a quick explanation be given in the Glossary, or in a "How to" entry that explains what kinds of tweaks can be achieved with the module?

Thanks

Result of further investigation and testing:

After installing the Profile Tweaks module, and activating it, we can then choose which quotas to add the module to in our Admin Control Panel (ACP).

Profiles associated with a given quota where the module is active will have a new "customization" tab in the Profile settings page. Depending on how you have set up the module, the possible customizations include choosing which part of the Profile is displayed as the top page of that profile.

The default page is the 'index page', where Latest activity of the profile is shown. I am still not sure why it is called 'profile index page' rather than, say, the 'profile top page' or 'profile home page'. Perhaps these are all equivalent descriptions.

Alternatives to the default are other pages linked to the profile (i.e. the pages that are usually accessed through the horizontal menu at the top of the profile home page.

'index' is a common term in web development because that is the file that's looked for if one is not specified, so your right they are equivalent terms.

Only bit of ambiguity creeps in when you have set one of the modules to be the initial starting page.

Glad you found out how it works.
