Dashboard presets
How saved dashboards work: start from a template, what a preset saves, who sees it, and how many you can have.
A preset is a saved dashboard: which widgets it has, their size and position, and the sections they are grouped in. The dashboard shows one preset at a time.
Presets belong to the project, not to the person who created them: everyone with access to the project sees the same list. Owners and Members can create and edit them. See Members and roles.
Create a preset
Presets → Create preset offers seven starting points, with a preview filled with sample numbers:
| Template | Comes with |
|---|---|
| Blank dashboard | An empty grid. |
| Overview | Revenue, net profit, ROAS, ARPU, AOV, ad spend, profit margin, CAC and marketing efficiency, plus Traffic and Sales sections. |
| Ad Performance | Ad spend, ROI, ROAS, marketing efficiency and CAC, plus Conversion funnels and Attribution sections. |
| Users & Behavior | Unique visitors, ARPU, session duration, page views and bounce rate, plus Demographics and Engagement sections. |
| Sales & Revenue | Revenue, net profit, AOV, profit margin, pending and refunded sales and chargeback rate, plus a Sales breakdown section. |
| Web Analytics | Live users, sessions, unique visitors, bounce rate, session duration and page views, plus Content and Audience sections. |
| Bot Protection | Live users and blocked bot requests, plus a Bot activity section. |
The template is only where you start: you can resize, move, customize or remove any widget afterwards. A project's first preset becomes its default.
Switch presets
Click Presets or press ⌘P (Ctrl+P on Windows and Linux), then pick a name. The active one has a check. The star next to a name makes that preset the default, the one the dashboard opens on.
The link in the address bar includes the preset, date range, filters and currency, so if you copy it and send it, the other person opens the same view.
What a preset saves
Only the widgets, their sizes and positions, and the sections. The date range, filters and currency are remembered by each browser, so two people on the same preset can look at different periods. The attribution model is a project setting, and changing it changes what every preset shows.
The dashboard only loads data for the widgets in the preset, so a preset with five widgets opens faster than one with thirty.
Add widgets and sections
Add, top right, opens the widget list, and the arrow next to it has Add section. Both save right away.
Each widget has its own menu, from the icon in its corner or by right-clicking it:
- Customize changes how it looks: limits that turn a number red or green, legend position, bar direction, which table columns show.
- Move to section sends it to another section.
- Remove takes it off the preset.
Deleting a section doesn't delete its widgets: they move to the top area, so nothing disappears by accident.
Rearrange
Edit (Shift+E) unlocks the layout. Drag a widget's handle to move it, and its corner to resize it. Save (⌘S) keeps the changes and Cancel (Escape) puts everything back. Positions are saved per screen size, so a layout made on a wide screen adapts to smaller ones.
Rename and delete
The gear on a preset's row opens its settings, where you can rename it or Delete it. Deleting only removes the layout: your events, orders and data stay the same.
How many you can have
| Free | Starter | Pro | Business | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 5 | 15 | 50 |
That is per project. Past the limit, Clakta asks you to upgrade. See Plans and limits.
Presets belong to the project, so renaming, rearranging or deleting one changes it for everyone with access. For a view of your own, create another preset, if your plan has room.
