Default dashboards help you streamline your team's workflow by showing the most important enrollment metrics first. When you set a default dashboard, it becomes the first thing your team sees when they open the dashboard section — no extra clicks needed.

Step 1: Navigate to the Dashboard You Want to Set as Default

Go to the dashboard that contains your most critical metrics. This might be your main enrollment overview or a dashboard tracking tours and applications.

Step 2: Click the Three-Dot Menu

In the top right corner of the dashboard, click the three-dot menu icon.

Step 3: Select "Set as Default Dashboard"

From the dropdown menu, click "Set as Default Dashboard."

Step 4: Confirm Your Selection

Confirm that you want to make this your default dashboard. Your team will now see this dashboard first when they access the dashboards section.

Pro Tip: Choose a dashboard that shows enrollment pipeline metrics, active tours, or waitlist status — whatever your team needs to see most often.

Important Things to Know

Permissions Required

Only Account Admins or users with full dashboard access can set default dashboards. If you don't see this option, check your permissions or contact your account administrator.

Viewing Permissions

All team members must have at least VIEW permission for a dashboard before you can set it as default. This ensures everyone on your team can see it.

Can't Delete Default Dashboards

Once you set a dashboard as default, you can't delete it until you assign a different default dashboard first. This prevents your team from losing access to their landing page.

Default vs. Pinned Dashboards

Default dashboards are what everyone sees first. Pinned dashboards are personal favorites that individual users can quickly access from their own view. Think of default as team-wide and pinned as personal bookmarks.

Note: If your default dashboard recently changed unexpectedly, follow the steps above to set it back. Your existing dashboards and widgets aren't affected — this was a temporary issue that's been resolved.
