How to Customize Dashboard Widgets in GoHighLevel
Customizing dashboard widgets in GoHighLevel lets you build a workspace that feels as organized as ClickUp while staying focused on your agency metrics. By tailoring each dashboard, you can see only the data that matters for your pipeline, reporting, and client performance.
This guide walks you through how to add, edit, remove, rearrange, and reset dashboard widgets so every user can get the most from GoHighLevel dashboards.
Understanding GoHighLevel Dashboard Widgets
Dashboard widgets in GoHighLevel are small blocks of data or tools you can arrange on your main dashboard. They provide quick visibility into:
- Leads and opportunities
- Pipeline values
- Tasks and activities
- Conversations and follow-ups
- Other performance metrics your team tracks
You can customize these widgets per user, which means each team member can design their own GoHighLevel dashboard layout without affecting other users.
Accessing Your Dashboard in GoHighLevel
Before you can customize widgets, you need to open the main dashboard for your GoHighLevel account.
- Log in to your GoHighLevel account as an admin or user with dashboard access.
- From the left-hand navigation, click on the main Dashboard section.
- Wait for the default dashboard widgets to load.
Once you see your existing cards and metrics, you are ready to begin customizing.
Adding New Dashboard Widgets in GoHighLevel
Adding widgets is the starting point for building a dashboard that matches your workflow. The process is straightforward, and you can choose from a list of available widgets provided by GoHighLevel.
Steps to Add a New Widget
- From the dashboard, look for an option such as Add Widget or a plus (+) icon on the page.
- Click the control to open the widget selection panel.
- Browse the available widgets and select the type of dashboard card you want to display (for example: leads, tasks, or performance metrics).
- Click on the widget tile or name to add it to your GoHighLevel dashboard.
- Once the widget appears, you can drag it to the desired position if drag-and-drop is enabled.
Repeat these steps to add as many widgets as you need, keeping in mind that a clean dashboard with fewer, focused cards is often easier to use.
Editing Existing Widgets in GoHighLevel
After adding your widgets, you may want to refine what they display or how they look. GoHighLevel makes widgets configurable so you can adjust filters, labels, and other settings.
How to Edit a Dashboard Widget
- Hover your mouse over the widget you want to change.
- Look for an Edit icon (often represented by a pencil or three-dot menu).
- Click the icon to open the widget settings panel.
- Adjust available options, such as:
- Data source or pipeline
- Date range or filters
- Display style or titles
- Other widget-specific configuration fields
- Click Save or Apply to confirm your edits.
These changes will immediately update the widget view on your GoHighLevel dashboard so you can verify that the data looks correct.
Rearranging Dashboard Widgets for Better Layout
A clear layout makes your GoHighLevel dashboard easier to scan. Most dashboards allow you to drag widgets into new positions so that the most important information appears at the top.
Reorder Widgets with Drag-and-Drop
- Move your cursor over a widget’s header area until the drag handle or move cursor appears.
- Click and hold the widget.
- Drag it to a new position on the dashboard.
- Release the mouse to drop the widget into place.
Group related widgets together, such as placing lead metrics next to pipeline value cards, so that GoHighLevel presents a logical story of your performance at a glance.
Removing Widgets from Your GoHighLevel Dashboard
Over time, your dashboard can become cluttered. Removing widgets you no longer need keeps your GoHighLevel view fast and focused.
Steps to Remove a Widget
- Hover over the widget you wish to remove.
- Click the Options or three-dot menu on the widget.
- Select Remove or Delete from the menu.
- Confirm the action if a prompt appears.
Removing a widget only affects your personal dashboard view and does not delete underlying data in GoHighLevel.
Resetting Your GoHighLevel Dashboard Layout
If you have made many changes and want to start fresh, you can reset your GoHighLevel dashboard back to its default layout.
How to Reset Dashboard Widgets
- Go to the dashboard area in your GoHighLevel account.
- Look for a Reset Dashboard, Restore Default, or similar button, often near the top of the page.
- Click the reset option.
- Confirm that you want to restore the default dashboard widgets and layout.
After the reset, you can begin customizing again, adding only the widgets that are most meaningful for your role or client accounts.
Best Practices for GoHighLevel Dashboard Customization
To get long-term value from your customized dashboard, follow a few simple best practices.
- Focus on key KPIs: Only add widgets that directly support your goals.
- Reduce visual noise: Avoid placing too many similar widgets together.
- Use logical grouping: Group widgets by function (leads, sales, support, tasks).
- Review regularly: Revisit your layout each month and remove outdated widgets.
- Personalize per user: Encourage team members to adjust their own GoHighLevel dashboards.
By following these practices, your dashboard becomes a decision-making tool instead of a static report.
