Customizing Your Dashboard

Learn how to personalize your Discovered dashboard with widgets, organize your layout, and choose whether your company should share the same dashboard view.

Overview

The Discovered dashboard gives you a customizable view of the information that matters most to your hiring team. You can add, remove, minimize, and rearrange widgets to create a dashboard that matches your workflow.

Available widgets may include items such as active job posts, hiring metrics, employee performance notifications, candidates that need attention, paused jobs, and other recruiting or account activity insights.

Admins can also choose to apply the same dashboard layout across the entire company so all users see the same widgets in the same arrangement.

Note: The shared dashboard setting is only available to users with admin permissions.

Customizing Your Dashboard:

1. Open the dashboard

From your Discovered account, go to your main dashboard.

Here, you will see the widgets currently active on your dashboard. Each widget shows a different type of information, such as hiring activity, job status, candidate updates, or performance-related notifications.

2. Open the widget menu

Click the widget customization button to view all available dashboard widgets.

This menu shows which widgets can be added to your dashboard and which ones are already active.

If a widget displays Remove, that means the widget is already on your dashboard.

3. Add a widget to your dashboard

To add a widget:

Open the widget menu.
Find the widget you want to add.

Select the area where you want the widget to appear:

Left
Middle
Right

If you choose the middle position, the widget may stretch across the dashboard layout.

Once selected, the widget will be added to the dashboard automatically. New widgets are typically added toward the bottom of the selected section.

4. Move a widget to a new position

After a widget has been added, you can drag it to a different location on the dashboard.

To move a widget:

Click and hold the widget.
Drag it to the desired location.
Release it when the widget is in place.

This allows you to organize your dashboard based on priority, workflow, or the information your team checks most often.

5. Change a widget’s orientation

Some widgets include an orientation icon that lets you adjust how the widget is positioned within the layout.

Use this option when you want to move a widget between layout sections or adjust how it appears on the dashboard.

6. Minimize or remove a widget

You can also manage widgets directly from the dashboard.

Depending on the widget, you may be able to:

Minimize the widget
Remove it from the dashboard
Adjust its position or layout

Removing a widget from the dashboard does not delete the feature or data. It only removes that widget from your current dashboard view.

Using a Shared Company Dashboard

Admins can choose to apply one dashboard layout across the entire company.
When this setting is enabled, all users in your company will see the same dashboard layout, including the same widgets and widget placement.
To enable the shared company dashboard:
Customize the dashboard layout the way you want it to appear.
Turn on the shared dashboard setting.
Confirm that you want all company users to use the same dashboard.
When enabled, users will not be able to customize their own individual dashboard layout.

Turning Off the Shared Dashboard

If you turn off the shared dashboard setting, users can customize their own dashboard again.

This gives each user the flexibility to add, remove, and organize widgets based on their individual role or workflow.

Why This Matters

A customizable dashboard helps each user focus on the information they need most. Recruiters may want quick access to candidates that need attention, while hiring managers may prioritize hiring metrics, active job posts, or paused jobs.

For teams that need stronger alignment, the shared company dashboard helps everyone work from the same view. This can improve collaboration by making sure all users are looking at the same hiring activity, priorities, and account updates.

Use Cases

Use dashboard customization when you want to:

Highlight active job posts
Track hiring metrics
Monitor candidates that need attention
Keep paused jobs visible
Review employee performance notifications
Organize widgets by team priority
Create a shared view for all company users
Give each user a personalized dashboard experience

Best Practices

Place your most important widgets near the top of the dashboard.
Use the shared dashboard setting when your team needs a consistent view.
Turn off the shared dashboard setting if individual users need flexibility.
Remove widgets that are not relevant to your day-to-day workflow.
Review your dashboard layout periodically as your hiring priorities change.
Keep high-priority items, such as candidates needing attention or active job posts, easy to access.

What Happens Next

Once your dashboard is customized, Discovered will save the layout so you can quickly access the widgets and information most relevant to your workflow.

If the shared dashboard setting is enabled, all users in your company will see the same dashboard layout. If it is turned off, each user can customize their own dashboard individually.
