When a patient signs in, the dashboard is the first screen they see. It opens with a personalized greeting (e.g., “Good morning, Sarah”) followed by a grid of widgets the clinic has chosen for that screen.

Available widgets

You decide which of these appear on the patient’s dashboard, in what order, and how wide each one is.
WidgetWhat it shows
CalendarA month calendar that highlights appointment days. Selecting a day shows that day’s visits. If the patient has no upcoming visits, a Book Appointment button takes its place.
Upcoming AppointmentsA short list of the next few visits with date, time, provider, and location.
Next AppointmentA highlighted banner for the very next visit, including a countdown.
FormsPending and completed forms, with a tab switch between the two. Patients open a form to fill it out or to view the answers they submitted.

Customize the dashboard

Where to find it: Go to Settings > Patient Portal. The Layout tab is open by default. The Layout tab shows a preview of the patient dashboard. Use it to arrange widgets:
1

Reorder widgets

Drag a widget by its header to move it. The grid reflows as you drag.
2

Resize a widget

Use the size switch in each widget’s header to set its width: 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, or Full.
3

Hide a widget

Click the eye icon in a widget’s header. The widget moves into the Hidden Widgets section below the preview.
4

Show a hidden widget

Find it in Hidden Widgets and click Add. It returns to the dashboard at the end of the visible list.
5

Save

Click Save at the top of the page. The new layout applies to every patient the next time they sign in.
Click Reset to defaults to discard your changes and restore the standard layout.
The same layout is shared by every patient at your clinic. There is no per-patient layout. The exception is the Quick Actions widget, where each patient can pick their own shortcuts.

Customize Quick Actions (patient-side)

Inside the Quick Actions widget, each patient can pick which shortcuts they see. The patient clicks Edit in the widget, removes an action with the X on it, adds an available action with the + button, and clicks Done. Their choices stick for next time they sign in. If a portal permission removes an action, it no longer appears in this widget.
