Dashboards are the **Leadtime home page**. They give each user a personal overview of the information, tasks, and tools relevant to them when they open the app.
Create and customize as many dashboards as you need for your daily workflows. They can range from a simple time-tracking workspace to a detailed reporting overview.
---
## Structure and default view
The first dashboard is a preconfigured **Overview** containing common widgets such as task lists, calendars, time statistics, and notifications.
You can add any number of personal dashboards and configure them independently.
---
## Create a dashboard
1. Select **Add Dashboard** in the top-right corner.
2. Enter a **name**.
3. Select **Save**.
Leadtime creates an empty dashboard that you can fill with widgets.
---
## Add widgets
Widgets display information such as task lists and charts or provide tools such as time tracking.
1. Select **Add Widget**.
2. Choose a **widget type**.
3. Configure its additional options, such as a data source or View.
4. Select **Add**.
---
## Layout and customization
Dashboards use a flexible **six-column layout**. Resize each widget from one to six columns and set its height freely. Drag and drop widgets to rearrange them.
Resize arrows appear below a widget, with three controls above it:
- ⚙️ **Configure:** Change settings such as the chart preset
- 📄 **Duplicate:** Create a copy
- 🗑️ **Delete:** Remove the widget
Select **Compact** to arrange the layout efficiently. Select **Exit Edit Mode** to return to the normal view.
