Set your default dashboard in Microsoft Dynamics CRM

In Microsoft Dynamics CRM, each time you sign in to the system you’ll see the dashboard, which gives you easy-to-read charts and graphs that help you see how you and your team are doing with key metrics (also known as key performance indicators, or KPIs).

The system comes with several different dashboard layouts to help you highlight the data and performance metrics you’re most interested in.

Find a dashboard layout you like…

The best way to find one you like is to take a look at a few. After you settle on a favorite, you can make it your default dashboard so that you see it each time you first sign in.

  • To see the different dashboard layouts, choose the down arrow next to the name of the dashboard, and then select the layout you want to check out.

              

 

  …and then make it your default dashboard

When your system is set up, the system administrator picks a default dashboard layout that everyone sees when they first sign in. If you want to see a different dashboard, you can override the system-wide default.

  • Display the dashboard you want, and then choose Set as Default at the top of the screen.
