The opening screen with the tiles

«Dashboard» is the first entry in the left-hand menu: a screen of tiles with the things worth seeing at a glance — «Favorites», «Recent», «Your personal space», «Active shares», «Storage», «Watermark», «Expiring».

To change the tiles:

  1. Open «Dashboard».
  2. Press «Manage», at the top right of the page.
  3. Tick the ones you want to keep.
  4. Close and drag the tiles into the order you prefer, taking them by their header.

The layout is yours: it does not change your colleagues’.

The tile worth keeping always is «Expiring»: it is the only place where the documents about to expire come to you, instead of having to be looked for.

If it isn’t there

Two possibilities, both normal:

  • You have not turned it on. It is off by default: you turn it on from the «Control centre» (at the bottom of the left-hand menu) → «Preferences»«Home page». It is a personal choice, because for many people the first useful screen is the file list itself.
  • Whoever administers has turned it off for the whole organisation. In that case the switch does not even appear in the Preferences.
