[Dashboard home page](https://help.opusdns.com/opusdns-dashboard?hsLang=en#dashboard-home-page) November 13, 2026 # How do I customize my dashboard home page and arrange widgets? ## Move, resize, add or remove widgets, or go back to the default layout The dashboard home page is the first page you see after you log in. It is made of widgets: cards that each show one topic, for example your domains, DNS traffic, renewals or your account balance. You decide which widgets you see, where they sit and how big they are. **Your layout is personal:** changes are saved to your user account right away and apply on every device. Other users of your organization keep their own layout.   ### Where to Find It **Path:** Left sidebar → Dashboard **Direct URL:** `/` The **Customize** button is at the top right of the home page. ![Top of the dashboard home page with the time range, Refresh and Customize buttons and the first row of widgets.](https://help.opusdns.com/hs-fs/hubfs/kb-dashboard-home/en-dashboard-home-page.png?width=670&height=179&name=en-dashboard-home-page.png) *Top of the dashboard home page with the time range, Refresh and Customize buttons and the first row of widgets.*   ### What you see on the home page - **Time range:** choose **7 days**, **30 days** or **12 months** at the top right. Widgets with a small badge such as **30D** show data for the selected period. - **Refresh:** reloads the data of all widgets. - **Customize:** opens the edit mode in which you arrange the widgets. - **Widgets:** click the title or the arrow of a widget to open the related page, for example the domain list or your invoices. By default the home page shows a row of key figures (Domains, DNS queries, Parking revenue, Forward visits, Account balance), the Domain activity chart next to **Needs attention**, then Getting started, Renewal outlook, Recent activity and Zone rankings, and finally Top TLDs, Services, Organizations and AI Concierge. You only see the widgets that fit your role and your organization.   ### Needs attention The **Needs attention** widget collects what needs action from you, what is still in progress and suggestions, grouped as **Action needed**, **In progress**, **Good to know** and **Suggested**. - **Snooze** an entry with the bell icon for 1, 7 or 30 days. It moves to **Snoozed**, where **Show again** brings it back at any time. - **Dismiss suggestion** with the x icon hides a suggestion you do not need.   ### Move and resize widgets 1. Click **Customize**. A hint appears under the greeting, every widget gets a handle on the left and a menu with three dots, and a toolbar appears at the bottom of the page. 2. **Move:** drag a widget by its handle to the new spot. The other widgets make room. 3. **Resize:** drag the bottom right corner of a widget. 4. Click **Done** when you are happy with the layout. ![Customize mode: each widget has a handle on the left, a menu on the right and a resize corner, the toolbar sits at the bottom.](https://help.opusdns.com/hs-fs/hubfs/kb-dashboard-home/en-dashboard-customize-mode.png?width=670&height=409&name=en-dashboard-customize-mode.png) *Customize mode: each widget has a handle on the left, a menu on the right and a resize corner, the toolbar sits at the bottom.* Instead of dragging you can also use the menu of a widget (three dots, **Options for** the widget): - **Make narrower**, **Make wider**, **Make shorter**, **Make taller** - **Move up**, **Move down**, **Move left**, **Move right** - **Remove** Options that are not possible at the current position are grayed out. ![The menu of a widget with options to resize, move and remove it.](https://help.opusdns.com/hs-fs/hubfs/kb-dashboard-home/en-dashboard-widget-menu.png?width=350&height=408&name=en-dashboard-widget-menu.png) *The menu of a widget with options to resize, move and remove it.* **Small window or mobile device?** Dragging and resizing need a wide window. In a narrow window the dashboard shows *Widen the window to drag and resize widgets*. You can still add widgets and use each widget's menu to make it taller or shorter and to move it up or down.   ### Add widgets 1. Click **Customize** and then **Add widgets** in the toolbar at the bottom. 2. A panel opens on the right with all widgets that are not on your home page yet. Use **Search widgets** or filter by category: Portfolio, DNS, Services, Billing, Organization, Activity, Developer and Shortcuts. 3. Click the **+** button of a widget to add it to the first free spot, or drag the widget onto the home page where you want it. 4. Click **Done**. Each widget can be on the home page once. When every widget you can use is already placed, the panel says so. ![The Add widgets panel with search, category filters and a + button for each widget.](https://help.opusdns.com/hs-fs/hubfs/kb-dashboard-home/en-dashboard-add-widgets.png?width=320&height=670&name=en-dashboard-add-widgets.png) *The Add widgets panel with search, category filters and a + button for each widget.*   ### Remove widgets 1. Click **Customize**. 2. Open the menu of the widget (three dots) and choose **Remove**. 3. Click **Done**. The widgets below move up to close the gap. You can add a removed widget again at any time with **Add widgets**.   ### Reset to the default layout 1. Click **Customize**. 2. Click **Reset to default** in the toolbar. The default widgets, positions and sizes come back right away. 3. Click **Done**. **Reset to default** can only be clicked after you have changed your layout. Your quick links and the view you chose in the activity chart (Domains or DNS) stay as they are.   ### Which widgets are available? The panel **Add widgets** groups the widgets by category. Which ones you see depends on your role, your organization and the services you use. **Portfolio** - **Domains:** total domains and how your portfolio size changed in the selected period. - **Activity chart:** registrations, transfers, renewals and deletions, or DNS traffic, over the selected period. - **Renewal outlook:** domains expiring in the next 30, 60 and 90 days. - **Expiring domains:** the next domains to expire, with renewal mode and renewal price. - **Recently added:** the latest registered and transferred in domains. - **Transfers in progress:** pending inbound and outbound domain transfers. - **Top TLDs:** the TLDs with the most domains in your portfolio. - **Status breakdown:** your domains by registry status and status tag. - **Portfolio health:** transfer locks, DNSSEC signing and contact verification at a glance. - **Contacts to review:** contacts that need verification or are missing details. - **Tags:** your most used tags, each linking to the objects it is applied to. **DNS** - **DNS queries:** queries answered by your DNS zones, compared with the previous period. - **Zone rankings:** your busiest zones and the ones with rising or falling traffic. - **DNSSEC coverage:** how many of your zones are signed with DNSSEC. - **Zones without traffic:** zones that answered no queries, as cleanup candidates. **Services** - **Services:** status of parking, forwards and connected registrars. - **Parking revenue:** revenue, views and clicks from parked domains. - **Forward visits:** visits to your domain forwards over time. - **Forward traffic:** top referrers, countries and status codes for your domain forwards. - **Registrar sync failures:** domains that failed to import from your connected registrars. - **AI Concierge:** recent conversations and AI usage. - **AI usage:** AI Concierge requests over the selected period. **Billing** - **Account balance:** your current balance, plus your credit limit and available funds if you have a credit line. - **Auto top-up:** whether automatic top-ups are running, the card they charge and why a top-up failed. - **Invoices & receipts:** your latest invoices and receipts with payment status and PDF downloads. - **Recent transactions:** the latest charges and top-ups on your account. - **Upcoming price changes:** scheduled price changes for the TLDs in your portfolio. - **Promotions:** active promotions and the ones you can still activate. **Organization** - **Organizations:** how your domains are spread across your organizations. - **Team:** how many members your organization has, by role. - **Reports:** recently generated reports, including billing transaction exports. **Activity** - **Needs attention:** things that need action, operations in progress and suggestions. - **Recent activity:** the latest events across your domains and services. - **Bulk jobs:** running and recent bulk jobs with their progress. **Developer** - **Recent API errors:** the latest API requests that failed with a 4xx or 5xx status. - **API key hygiene:** API keys that expire soon or have not been used in 90 days. **Shortcuts** - **Quick links:** your most used pages, picked from the navigation.

Every user of your organization arranges their own home page. **Do I have to save my changes?** No. Every change is saved right away. **Done** only closes the edit mode. Your layout is the same on every device and browser you log in with. **Why is a widget missing from the list?** Some widgets need certain permissions or services, for example billing access for the billing widgets. Widgets you cannot use with your role or organization are not offered. A widget that is already on your home page is not listed either. **Why can I not drag widgets?** Your window is too narrow. Make it wider, or use the menu of each widget to arrange it.   ### Related articles - [Welcome to the OpusDNS Dashboard: A Quick Tour](https://help.opusdns.com/dashboard-quick-tour?hsLang=en) - [Understanding the Pre-Payment Balance Model](https://help.opusdns.com/pre-payment-balance-model?hsLang=en) -
