How to Set a Default Dashboard in Sparkforge

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Open the dashboard you want as default, click the three-dot menu in the top right, and choose Set as Default. Account Admins or Agency users with full dashboard access can do this; every team member needs at least View permission.

Default Dashboards control what your team sees first when they open the Dashboard section. Set it once and the whole team lands on the same page — useful for pinning the metrics that drive daily decisions.

How to Set a Default Dashboard

Open the dashboard you want as the default.
Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
Select Set as Default Dashboard.
Confirm.

Permissions and Rules

Who can set: Account Admins or Agency users with full access to the dashboard.
Who needs view access: every team member must have at least View permission on that dashboard for it to be set as default.
Cannot delete a default: a dashboard set as default can't be deleted until another dashboard is set as the default.

Default vs. Pinned Dashboards

Default dashboards are the team-wide landing page. Pinned dashboards are individual favorites — each user pins their own for quick access. The two settings live independently.

If your default dashboard reverted unexpectedly

A patch addressed a post-release bug that re-changed default dashboards. If yours flipped back, follow the steps above to reset it. Existing dashboards and widgets are unaffected. If the issue persists, contact support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can set a default dashboard?

Account Admins, or Agency users with full access to the dashboard. Standard users without those roles can't change the default.

Can I delete a dashboard that's currently the default?

Not directly. Set a different dashboard as the default first, then delete the original.

What's the difference between default and pinned dashboards?

Default is the team-wide landing page set by an admin. Pinned dashboards are personal favorites each user picks for themselves.

Do all users need access to the default dashboard?

Every team member needs at least View permission on the dashboard for it to be set as the default for the team.
