[Labs-l] [Labs-announce] (re)Introducing Horizon

[Stephen E Slevinski Jr]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the news and FAQ.

When I first logged into horizon, I was shown 5 instances that were not 
mine.

Question: Why can't I see my instances?

Answer: The project is defaulted to "bastion".  You will need to select 
your desired project.  You can either use the top header project 
drop-down, or use the the left-hand menu, Identity >> Projects, and then 
clicked the "Set as Active Project" button.

Regards,
-Steve
