What Are GoHighLevel Dashboard Widgets?
Dashboard widgets in GoHighLevel are small, configurable blocks that display important data from different parts of your account. These widgets focus on contacts, activities, and financial performance so you can see trends at a glance.

All of this happens without opening multiple reports or navigating away from the main dashboard.

How to Customize Widgets in GoHighLevel
While you cannot create brand-new widget types, you can customize which widgets appear and how they are arranged in GoHighLevel. This lets each user design a dashboard that matches their role.
Step 1: Access the GoHighLevel Dashboard
- Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
- From the main navigation, go to the Dashboard area of the sub-account you want to manage.
- Wait for the existing widgets to load; they will appear in a grid layout.
Step 2: Remove Unnecessary Widgets
If you see widgets that are not useful for your workflow, you can remove them from your view.
- Hover your mouse over the widget you want to remove.
- Look for the close or remove control on the widget header (typically an X or similar icon).
- Click it to remove that widget from the dashboard.
Removing a widget cleans up the interface so you can focus on the data that matters most.
Step 3: Rearrange Widgets in GoHighLevel
You can rearrange remaining widgets for a cleaner, more logical layout.
- Click and hold the title bar of the widget you want to move.
- Drag the widget to a new position on the dashboard grid.
- Release to drop the widget in its new location.
Place the most important GoHighLevel widgets, such as contacts, opportunities, and revenue, near the top so they are visible immediately when you sign in.
Step 4: Adjust Widget Time Frames (When Available)
Many widgets in GoHighLevel allow you to change the date range or view filter.
- Open the date filter or settings option on the widget.
- Select the desired time frame, such as today, this week, this month, or a custom period.
- Apply the filter and review the updated data.
This flexibility helps you measure both short-term and long-term trends from the same dashboard.
Best Practices for GoHighLevel Dashboard Setup
To get the most out of your dashboard widgets, follow these simple best practices:
- Keep it focused: Remove any widgets that do not directly support your daily decisions.
