# Reorder dashboards

If you have more than one [dashboard](/totara-20/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.

## Managing dashboard order with display position

You can 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.

### Display order field setting

A **Display order** field setting is available within the dashboard settings 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](/totara-20/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.
