How to Set a Default Dashboard in GoHighLevel

If you manage multiple workspaces in tools like ClickUp and also rely on GoHighLevel for marketing operations, having a consistent starting view is essential. This guide explains, step by step, how to set a default dashboard in GoHighLevel so the right data appears the moment you log in.

The feature is quick to configure and can be changed at any time. Follow the instructions below to streamline your daily workflow and ensure your most important dashboard is always front and center.

Why Set a Default Dashboard in GoHighLevel?

Choosing a default dashboard in GoHighLevel helps you stay focused on the metrics that matter most. Instead of switching views every time you open the platform, you will land directly on the dashboard you use most often.

Some common reasons to set a default dashboard include:

  • Always loading a sales or pipeline overview first.
  • Monitoring lead generation and conversion metrics.
  • Keeping a close eye on agency-wide performance.
  • Reducing clicks and navigation time for your team.

Once configured, this preference applies automatically each time you access your account.

Prerequisites for Using GoHighLevel Default Dashboards

Before you set a default dashboard in GoHighLevel, make sure you meet these basic requirements:

  • You have an active GoHighLevel account.
  • You can log in with valid credentials.
  • You have at least one dashboard already visible in your account.
  • You have the necessary permissions to view and select dashboards.

If you can access the main dashboard area after signing in, you are ready to proceed.

Step-by-Step: Set a Default Dashboard in GoHighLevel

Use the instructions below to set your preferred dashboard as the default in GoHighLevel. The interface may vary slightly based on updates, but the process remains the same.

Step 1: Log in to Your GoHighLevel Account

  1. Open your web browser.
  2. Go to the official GoHighLevel login page.
  3. Enter your email and password.
  4. Click the button to sign in to your account.

After a successful login, you will land on the main area where your current dashboard or other default view appears.

Step 2: Navigate to the Dashboard Area in GoHighLevel

  1. Locate the primary navigation menu inside GoHighLevel.
  2. Click on the section that leads to your dashboards or reporting views.
  3. Confirm that the list of available dashboards is visible.

The dashboards you can access will appear as selectable views. Identify the one you want to set as the default.

Step 3: Open the Desired Dashboard

  1. In the dashboards list, click on the dashboard you want to set as default.
  2. Wait for the dashboard to fully load, including all widgets and charts.

Make sure this is genuinely the view you want to see first every time you open GoHighLevel, as it will become your primary starting page.

Step 4: Access the Default Dashboard Option

Once you are viewing the correct dashboard, look for an option related to default settings. According to the official GoHighLevel documentation, there is a clearly labeled control on the dashboard screen.

  1. On the open dashboard, find the setting labeled Make Default Dashboard or a similarly named option.
  2. This control is typically displayed near the dashboard title or within the dashboard settings area.

The option may be shown as a button or a toggle, depending on your current interface design.

Step 5: Confirm the Default Dashboard Setting in GoHighLevel

  1. Click the Make Default Dashboard button or toggle.
  2. Wait for a brief confirmation from GoHighLevel (such as a message or visual indicator) that the dashboard has been set as the default.

After this action, GoHighLevel stores your preference. The selected dashboard will now load first whenever you log in, unless you change the default in the future.

How to Change Your Default GoHighLevel Dashboard

If your reporting needs evolve, you can easily switch your default dashboard to a different one.

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
  2. Go to the dashboards section.
  3. Click to open the new dashboard you want to set as default.
  4. Click the Make Default Dashboard option again on this new dashboard.

GoHighLevel will update your default setting so the newly selected dashboard becomes the first screen you see after logging in.

Troubleshooting Default Dashboard Issues in GoHighLevel

If your chosen dashboard is not loading as default in GoHighLevel, review these quick checks:

  • Refresh your browser: Close and reopen the browser, then log in again.
  • Clear cache: Clear cached data and cookies, then sign back in.
  • Verify permissions: Ensure your user role still has access to the dashboard.
  • Reapply the setting: Open the dashboard and click Make Default Dashboard once more.
  • Check for updates: Interface changes in GoHighLevel may relocate the option; look for updated labels or icons.
