1. To select which sections appear on your dashboard, check the desired boxes in the Dashboard Items section.

   The specific widgets available to you may vary depending on your site setup.

3. Select the Save button at the bottom of the page. The dashboard displays with your changes made to displayed items and widgets.

Steps to Customize Your Widget Display

You must first save any changes you make to the selected dashboard widgets in the top section of the page before you can rearrange them as described below.

4. Highlight the desired widget name, and use the buttons to move the widget position up or down within the column or left and right between the columns (see figure above).

   OR...

   Use the keyboard controls identified in the blue text instructions on the page to select and move widgets up or down in a column, or to move them to the next or previous widget column.

5. When all widgets are arranged in the columns as desired, select the Save button. The dashboard redisplays with the selected widgets and their new positions in the Widgets section.

Tips

Arrange your widgets by how often you visit that area of the system or according to the degree of importance. For example, if you want to see how many unread messages you have immediately upon signing in, you can place the My Messages widget at the top of the section. Or, if you do not access Labor Market Services frequently, you can relocate the widget to the bottom or remove it altogether.
