Customise the home dashboard
Updated 31 October 2026 · 3 min read · 14 Contents
Plain-language meaning
The home dashboard shows widgets for the selected market: indices, market activity, Market Pulse, Radar, sector breadth, news, IPOs, calendars and personal panels, followed by fourteen read-only Explore cards for ETFs, funds, deposits, bonds, derivatives, commodities, forex, crypto, macro data, rates and datasets.
Why it is useful #
It gives one place to scan a market and jump into the detailed boards, arranged the way you work.
Where it appears and the workflow #
Open Home (/ or /{exchange}/dashboard). Use Customize to show or hide widgets, move them with the arrows or by dragging, apply one of five layout presets, add a Charting or Screener widget, or Reset layout. The Explore cards always sit at the end and show up to three dated rows each with a More link; they load as you scroll to them.
Calculation or source #
The first market is the one you last chose; for a new visitor it is suggested from the visitor's country, with NSE as the fallback, and is not saved until you pick one. Your current layout is saved in this browser; on Pro you can also name a layout under Pro templates, which is saved to your account and appears in your other browsers.
Prerequisites, inputs, period and unit #
No plan is needed for the dashboard. On a first signed-out visit the page opens with an introduction, a short starter set of widgets and a card describing a free account; Show more market data reveals the rest for that visit, and dismissing the introduction is remembered.
Worked example #
Illustrative only: a visitor from the UK first sees the LSE dashboard; choosing NSE in the market picker switches the dashboard and remembers NSE next time.
What high and low mean #
Each widget keeps its own definitions; the dashboard does not score markets.
Positive, negative and zero #
Changes keep their sign in every widget; a missing value shows a dash rather than 0.
Limitations and common mistakes #
The current layout does not follow you to another browser unless you save it as a named Pro template. If a template cannot be synced, it is kept in this browser and the message says so; it is sent to your account the next time the dashboard loads. Explore cards cannot be hidden or reordered.
Market-specific differences #
Widgets follow the selected exchange; US dashboards add analyst grade actions.
Suggested next steps #
Hide two widgets, move Market Pulse to the top, reload and confirm the layout stayed; then use Reset layout.
