Customize your dashboard
Add, arrange, resize and filter dashboard widgets, then save a personal layout or share one with your organization.
Open the Dashboard by selecting your organization name in the sidebar. The page address is /dashboard. Widgets show the work and information you want to keep nearby.
Steps
- Select Edit dashboard. If someone else's shared dashboard is open, select Customize a copy to make your own version.
- Select Add widgets. Search by name or choose a category, then add the widgets you need. Close the drawer to arrange them. To start from a ready-made layout instead, pick one from Use a template (Overview, Operations, Billing or Empty dashboard).
- Drag a widget's handle to move it. The dashed outline shows where it will land. Drag its lower corner to resize it.
- To arrange widgets without dragging, open a widget's actions menu and choose Move earlier, Move later, Duplicate, or Widget settings. The settings let you change its title, width, height and supported filters. Select Apply when finished.
- Use Undo to reverse an edit. Remove widget removes the card from this layout without changing application records.
- Select Save, enter a dashboard name and choose whether to make it your personal default. If your access allows it, you can share the dashboard with your organization and make it the organization's default.
- Select Save dashboard. Your dashboard is available in the selector on your other devices too.
What you see
- Dashboard filters affect only widgets that support them. Work dates look ahead; analytics look back. A widget's subtitle shows its scope, and Widget settings can give it separate filters.
- Filters changed while viewing are temporary. Save them in edit mode to keep them in the layout.
- Nova Setup shows your progress and next steps. Account security shows one recommendation at a time. You can remove either widget; required sign-in security still applies.
- Loading, empty and unavailable widgets keep their place. A failed widget can be retried without reloading the others.
- On a phone, widgets stack in reading order. Use their menus to move or resize them; your computer layout is preserved.
- Cancel lets you leave an edit without saving. If you have made changes, Nova asks before discarding them and also offers to save.
If something looks different
- A missing widget or editing button usually means your role or plan does not include it. Shared layouts never grant access to additional records.
- If another person saves the same dashboard first, your draft stays open. In the save drawer, choose Save as a new dashboard to keep your version separately.
- To delete a default dashboard, first edit and save it with its default choice cleared. Then use Delete dashboard in the dashboard actions menu.
