To specify the layout of WorkCenter dashboards:
On the Manage WorkCenter Dashboard Pages page, click the Pagelets button for a WorkCenter dashboard.
On the Tab Content page, select the pagelets that you want to appear on the WorkCenter dashboard. See Specifying the Pagelets or Tiles That Can Appear on a Dashboard.
On the Tab Layout page, arrange the layout of the pagelets. See Arranging Pagelets on Classic Dashboards.
Note: For WorkCenter dashboards, only the two-column layout is available.
When a WorkCenter dashboard page is created, it is effectively already the starting page for its own WorkCenter, although it cannot yet be managed on the Manage WorkCenter Pages page.
From the Manage WorkCenter Pages page, you can create a new WorkCenter and designate a WorkCenter dashboard as the starting page for its own WorkCenter. Additionally, you can designate a WorkCenter dashboard as the starting page for a different WorkCenter. See Selecting the WorkCenter Starting Page.
