README

Default Dashboard for Craft CMS

Default Dashboard is a Craft CMS plugin that gives new Craft users a useful dashboard from their first sign-in. Define the widgets once and let the plugin populate them instead of configuring every account by hand.

An empty dashboard is not much of a welcome. Build a shared set of widgets around the way the project actually works, and new users arrive to useful shortcuts, guidance and information from their first login.

Features

• Define the dashboard widgets new users should receive.
• Choose different source dashboards for individual user groups.
• Populate an empty dashboard when a user first needs it.
• Avoid recreating the same widget collection for every account.
• Use the dashboard widgets already available to the Craft project.
• Give editors a predictable starting point across the team.
• Keep the default widget configuration with the site.
• Decide whether existing widgets should be replaced and whether administrators should be excluded.
