# Reorder dashboards

If you have more than one [dashboard](/19/docs/what-is-a-dashboard) available for users then you may wish to reorder them. When a user is assigned to more than one dashboard then the one listed first will be displayed to them.

1. Go to *Quick-access menu > Navigation > Dashboards* to view all dashboards.
2. Use the arrows in the **Options** columns to move a dashboard up or down.

> [!NOTE]
> Available from Totara 19.1
> 
> ## Managing dashboard order with display position
> 
> From Totara 19.1, you can now easily control the order in which dashboards appear in the list by setting a display position. This makes it simpler to manage large numbers of dashboards, especially for organisations with complex configurations or multi-tenancy enabled.
> 
> Site Administrators can now:
> 
> - Quickly set the display order when creating or editing a dashboard.
> - Easily reposition dashboards without needing to move them one place at a time.
> - Use flexible search and filtering options to find dashboards more efficiently.
> 
> ### Enable Manage dashboards
> 
> To enable the Manage dashboards feature
> 
> - Go to *Quick-access menu > Development > New and experimental > Early access*
> - Select the **Manage dashboards with enhanced controls** checkbox (by default this is disabled).
> 
> A Display order field setting is available when creating or editing a dashboard.
> 
> - The value entered determines the dashboard’s position in the list.
> - The list starts at 0, which represents the top position.
> - If no value is entered, the dashboard will appear below any dashboards that have a display order set.
> 
> For example:
> 
> - Entering 0 will place the dashboard at the top of the list.
> - Entering 5 will place the dashboard after dashboards ranked 0 to 4.
> - Leaving the field blank will place the dashboard at the bottom.
> 
> Note: The dashboard listed at the top is the default homepage for users, unless the dashboard availability is set to Available only to the following audiences.
> 
> ### Updated Manage dashboards table
> 
> The Manage dashboards page is a [embedded report](/19/docs/what-are-reports#embedded-reports). This provides additional flexibility to:
> 
> - Search for dashboards using the standard Report builder search options.
> - Add or remove columns, including tenant information if multi-tenancy is enabled.
> - Apply filters to quickly locate specific dashboards.
> 
> For more information on customising embedded reports, see [Edit an embedded report](/19/docs/edit-an-embedded-report)
