Dashboard

The Dashboard is our modern take on information relating to your business through the use of widgets. This page gives you the option to see information about your reporting, social media accounts, and even the weather.

	This icon on the top left removes the navigation bar to give you a full-screen experience.
	The Layout section on the top of the Dashboard allows you to edit the widgets. This would be to add, delete and rearrange the widgets. You can also drag and drop the widgets within the Dashboard page itself.
	This toggle next to the Layout allows you to change the Dashboard view. Currently, this will move from the new Dashboard to the Legacy Dashboard.

Widget Setup

The Dashboard on Lighthouse is completely customizable thanks to the use of widgets. Setup can be done from the Dashboard by selecting the Layout option found in the upper right corner of the screen.

Under the Layout section, there is an option to Add New Widget. This gives you access to all of the available widgets and the option to add any of these widgets to their current dashboard. Multiple copies of the same widgets can be used as well. Follow the steps below to add a widget to the dashboard:

• Use the "+" plus sign to add a widget.
• Use the trash can icon to remove a widget.
• Navigating within the widget can be done using the "<" or ">" arrows.
• If viewing the site on a mobile phone or from a tablet, swiping can be utilized.

The next part of the Layout section displays the widgets currently in use and the option to remove any unnecessary widgets or relocate current widgets to a different location within the dashboard. The "<" or ">" arrows can be used to change the location on the widgets. 

There is no need to save from the Layout section. Using the above-listed steps will make the changes without the need to save. Select the Layout button again to return to your Dashboard screen.
