Homepage Widget Dashboards

This article will guide Admin's through the process of creating homepage widget dashboards.

HomePage Widgets can be utilised to create a custom homepage for users when they log in to Acorn. They are a great way to display information in an engaging way. Each tenancy has its own dashboard. Multiple dashboards can be active at one time, and they can also be restricted to particular user groups via Cohorts.
