The site dashboard is an interactive user interface
that contains information specific to the current site. Like your personal
dashboard, site information is organized and displayed in
dashlets.
You should customize the site itself before customizing the site
dashboard.
For each site you can:
- modify the dashboard appearance
- select the dashlets you want to include on the dashboard
- configure the display order of the selected dashlets
The Site Activities dashlet has filters that let you customize the activities it displays. You may find it useful to add more than one of this dashlet and then, on the dashboard, configure each instance to show different information.
You must have the role Site Manager to perform this task.
- Navigate to the site whose dashboard you want to configure.
-
Click Customize Dashboard on the dashboard
banner.
The Customize Site Dashboard page displays. The image in the Current Layout section indicates the currently selected layout. The Dashlets section displays the currently selected dashlets as they will appear on the site dashboard.
-
Change the site dashboard layout:
- Click Change Layout to display the available dashboard layouts.
- Click the graphic of the desired layout or click Select to the right of it.
-
Select the site dashlets:
- Click Add Dashlets to display the available dashlets.
-
To add a dashlet, click an item in the Add
Dashlets section and drag it to the desired
column.
Tip: Select the site dashlets carefully: some dashlets are directly tied to site components. As an example, the Wiki dashlet displays a page from the site wiki. Therefore, if you have not configured the site to include a wiki, then there is no reason to add the Wiki dashlet to the dashboard.
- To remove a dashlet, click the unwanted dashlet and either drag it to the garbage can or press DELETE.
- Click and drag the dashlets within and across columns to configure the display order.
- Click OK to save your changes.
You return to the site dashboard displaying the selected dashlets
in the order configured.
