Home
Use the Home page to view your upcoming meetings, scheduled calls, and other tasks. The information is displayed in panels. Every panel is a configurable dashlet that you can move around the page to rearrange the Home page layout as needed. To move a dashlet, place the cursor on a panel title, hold down the mouse button, and drag it to the desired location on the page.
To add a new dashlet, click the down arrow on the home page tab and select Add Dashlets. From the Add Dashlets menu that displays in a separate window, click a dashlet to add it to your home page. You can add multiple dashlets of the same kind and configure each one differently.
You can also edit, refresh, and delete an existing dashlet by clicking the appropriate icon located in the dashlet panel. Editing includes changing the columns and number of rows that are displayed as well as filters such as record creation date and assigned users and teams.
