Vedain CRM·18-Jun-2026·4 min read

Custom Dashboards let you build a personalised CRM view with exactly the metrics you care about. Add widgets showing lead counts, revenue, campaign performance, team activity — drag them anywhere, resize as needed.

Creating a New Custom Dashboard

  1. Click Custom Dashboards in the left sidebar.
  2. Click + New Dashboard.
  3. Enter a name (e.g., 'Sales Overview', 'My Daily View').
  4. Click Create.

Adding Widgets

  1. Click + Add Widget.
  2. Select the widget type:
  3. Metric — A single KPI number (e.g., 'Total deals won this month: 12').
  4. Bar Chart — Compare values across categories.
  5. Line Chart — Show trends over time.
  6. Pie Chart — Show proportions.
  7. Table — Tabular data with multiple columns.
  8. Lead/Deal List — A live list of records matching filters.
  9. Configure the widget: choose data source, date range, filters, and grouping.
  10. Click Add to Dashboard.

Arranging Widgets

Drag any widget to a new position on the dashboard. Drag the bottom-right corner of a widget to resize it. Arrange your most important metrics at the top.

Setting as Your Home Dashboard

Click the three-dot menu on the dashboard → Set as Home. This dashboard replaces the default dashboard as the first thing you see when you log in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I share a custom dashboard with my team?

Custom dashboards are personal by default. Contact Vedain support for options to share a dashboard view with specific team members or make it company-wide.

Can different team members have different home dashboards?

Yes. Each user sets their own home dashboard independently. Your team members can each build and set their own personalised view.

Can I duplicate an existing dashboard?

Yes. Open the dashboard → three-dot menu → Duplicate. The copy is created with all the same widgets, which you can then modify independently.
