How You Configure the My Dashboard Page

The My Dashboard page, out of the box, displays all the counts except the People with Closed Events count. You can choose to hide or show these counts.

For example, if your company doesn't deal with court orders, you can choose to hide that count. You can even change the sequence in which the counts appear.

If you have the required access permissions, you configure the My Dashboard page from the Setup and Maintenance work area, using the Manage Common Lookups task. Open the ORA_BEN_RESP_SUMMARY look up type.

Each activity count that you see on the My Dashboard page appears as a lookup code. Here's what you can configure:

Configuration aspect	How to configure
Display or hide an activity and its count	Select or deselect the Enabled check box. For example, if your organization doesn't use the billing feature, you might want to deselect the Enabled check box for the People with unpaid bills row. If you deselect the Enabled check box for all the counts, the entire section won't appear on My Dashboard. Only the search box appears.
Determine the top 4 activity counts	The first 4 activity counts, starting with the display sequence number 1, are the counts that appear on the My Dashboard page. Other activity counts appear, but only when you click the Show more link.
Reword the activity	Enter a new name in the Meaning field.
Change the display sequence of activity counts	Enter a new sequence number in the Display Sequence field for the lookup code. Adjust the sequence numbers in the rest of the lookup codes as required.

Note: The People with closed life events count doesn't appear by default. You can, however, choose to display it. You might see a decrease in performance because of the typically large counts associated with this activity.

If you want your users to use only the Search and not the counts, you can hide the dashboard section completely by using the functionality in the HCM Experience Design Studio.
