Custom Start Screen

Does anyone know if it's possible to set the Start Screen (System››Preferences) to the login history page (System››Logins : History)? It isn't an option from the dropdown menu but if I use a Rest API call, I can see that em_custom_lists is an option.

~$curl -sk -u ':' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PATCH https:///mgmt/tm/sys/db/ui.system.preferences.startscreen

~$"tm:sys:db:dbstate","name":"ui.system.preferences.startscreen",
"fullPath":"ui.system.preferences.startscreen","generation":14578,
"selfLink":"https://localhost/mgmt/tm/sys/db/ui.system.preferences.startscreen?ver=13.1.0.2",
"defaultValue":"welcome","scfConfig":"false","value":"welcome",
"valueRange":"device_list em_custom_lists em_device_list em_device_monitor_list em_task_list guest_list network_map performance statistics traffic virtual_servers welcome wide_ips"

    It looks like the acceptable values are pretty limited, and em_custom_lists/device_list/device_monitor/task_list all refer to a grouping capability that is limited to the Enterprise Manager product.

    Addition to the above comment.

    Applicability of the choices listed in 

    valueRange
    depends on the product, and you can verify from the list in the GUI. For example, LTM shows 7 choices in its pull-down menu. Of 13 choices in the 
    valueRange
    , these 7 choices are only applicable. This also applies to tmsh. 
    list
    with 
    all-properties
    or tab-completion shows the same choices in the 
    value-range
    field.

    Setting a non-applicable choice, using 

    PATCH
    in iControl REST or 
    modify
    in tmsh, does not raise any error, but the GUI falls back to the 
    defaultValue
    behaviour: e.g., On LTM, when you specify 
    em_custom_lists
    , the system accepts it but rolls back to 
    welcome
    behaviour.
