The dashboard is the first screen you see: a greeting with what's due today, and a set of cards summarising your account. You choose which cards appear, where they sit, and how big they are.

The cards

Every card is available on every account — none is tied to a plan.

A new account starts with a default arrangement: the four number tiles across the top, then Today's tasks, Pipeline, Recent activity, Needs attention and Quick actions. Nothing changes until you change it.

Customising the layout

Click Customize in the top-right corner of the dashboard. You arrange it on the dashboard itself rather than in Settings, so you can see exactly what each card will look like at the size you give it.

While customising:

Then finish with one of:

Your layout follows you

Your arrangement is saved to your account, not to the browser, so it's the same on any computer you sign in on and in the desktop app.

The mobile app has its own home screen built for a phone, so your dashboard layout doesn't change it.

If you place a card on the web that an older version of the desktop app doesn't know about yet, the desktop app shows the rest of your dashboard without it rather than breaking. Updating the app brings it back.

The setup checklist

Next to Customize is the Set up chip, showing how much of setup you've finished (for example, 5/6). Click it to see what's left: bringing your contacts in, texting, email, invoicing, connecting ChatGPT or Claude, and your booking page. It floats over the dashboard rather than pushing the cards down, and you can hide it for good once you're done.
