The Dashboard is a customisable page for providing users with details of their progress and upcoming deadlines. In the centre is the Course overview which allows students and teachers to easily track required activities and filter courses.

Note: If activity completion is not being used, or if no activities are due, then the course overview block will display a grey icon like this:

If course images have been added in the course settings, they will display in the dashboard. Where no images have been added, coloured patterns appear: New feature
in Moodle 2020-21!

Quick access to Dashboard is also available from the user menu top right of the screen once logged in:

The Navigation drawer or block includes a Dashboard link directly above or below the Site home link. Once a regular user is logged in, the My courses link will also take them to their Dashboard.

Watch this screencast for further information on the Dashboard.

Resetting Dashboard to default

If a user has customised their page and wish to revert back to the original settings, they can click the 'Reset page to default' button (2) after first clicking the 'Customise this page' button (1).

(Note that an administrator can reset the Dashboard for all users from Site administration > Appearance >Default Dashboard page).
