Customize Your First Dashboard
Welcome to your UniDeck's Home Dashboard, a personalized workspace designed to help you focus, plan, and create from day one.
As soon as you sign up, UniDeck automatically generates a ready-to-use “Home” dashboard. This includes a handpicked set of widgets you can immediately interact with, helping you understand the platform through hands-on exploration.
Your First Dashboard: What’s Inside
The default layout includes a variety of helpful widgets:
📆 Calendar – View your agenda at a glance
⏳ Focus Timer – Stay productive with Pomodoro-style sessions
📬 Inbox – Connect to Google to read and manage your emails
📝 To-Do List – Start organizing your tasks
💡 Quote of the Day – Kick off with a little inspiration
🖼️ App Launcher Widget – Quick access buttons to open websites or apps
These widgets are draggable, resizable, and removable. Feel free to move things around and make it yours.
Drag. Drop. Done.
Customizing your layout is simple:
Click and hold any widget to move it around
Right click to open context menu for changing sizes
Click the ⚙ icon in the top-right of some widget to access settings or configure
Try building a layout that matches your flow, whether it’s a compact focus space or a broad overview dashboard.
Top Navigation Features
At the top of your dashboard, you’ll find a minimalist bar that blends utility with elegance:
🌞 Personalized Greeting – Changes throughout the day
🕰️ Live Clock & Date – Always in sync
🔍 Search the Web – Instantly search from your dashboard via the built-in bar
You can toggle or customize these elements later for a cleaner or more focused look.
Customize Your Background
Want your dashboard to feel more “you”? On the left-hand side, you’ll notice a vertical menu that allows for full aesthetic control:
🌄 Switch Random Background – Click and Up and Down arrows to switch the background
🧱 Custom Background – Hover on one of the arrows and click the settings gear.
Add More Widgets
Click the “+ Add more widgets” button on the top-right corner of the widget grid. From here, you can browse and install widgets like:
📈 Graphs and Tables for analytics
🗓️ Google Calendar sync
🔗 Jira and GitHub integrations
📌 Notes, Quotes, and more
But don't worry that for now, we'll get to that in later with more details in the next chapter.
Power Tip: Explore Multi-Dashboard Support
You’re not limited to just one dashboard. From the bottom navigation bar, you can:
➕ Create new dashboards (e.g., "Work", "Personal", "Project X")
🔄 Switch between dashboards easily
💾 Save layouts and reuse them across dashboards
