JIRA Dashboard

When you log in to Jira, the first screen that will appear is Dashboard. The Dashboard can only be customized by the Admin, and based on the roles, an admin can access to Jira.

An admin can even change the color and the Jira logo.

You can create multiple dashboards that help you to organize your projects, assignments, and achievements in different charts.

Default Dashboard

You can add the gadgets in a default dashboard as well as you can configure the default dashboard. The layout of the dashboard can also be configured, such as a number of columns. All the changes made to the default dashboard will also reflect the changes in the dashboard of the users that are currently using the default dashboard. For example, the Administration gadget exists in the Default dashboard, but it is visible to only admin.
