Choosing and ordering widgets

The dashboard’s main column holds six widgets at most, in up to three rows of two. You control which six and where they sit. The right sidebar is arranged separately, with its own cap of three.

Before you start

Three widgets have no hide control: Profile, Cases once you have case access, and Application timeline. They count against the six. Application timeline still leaves on its own when you no longer have an active managed case.

Add a widget

1. Go to /app/dashboard.
2. In the chip row under the widgets, click Widgets. The count beside it — for example (4/6) — is how many of your six slots are in use.
3. Pick a widget from the list. It saves and the dashboard rebuilds.

The menu offers at most four: ImmiReport, Latest draws, ITA deadline, and Processing time — and only the ones that currently apply to you. Everything else is either permanent or placed automatically when it has something to show.

The Widgets menu open from the quick actions strip, showing Auto above the addable widgets.

At six slots the list greys out

When all six are in use the names stay visible but cannot be clicked. Remove something first.

Hide a widget

Hover over a widget and click the × in its top-right corner.

Profile, Cases, and Application timeline have no ×. Every other widget can be hidden: ImmiReport, Latest Draws, Filing deadline, Est. processing time, Your progress, Recommendations, and Smart Journey.

A hidden widget stays hidden while your journey stage stays the same. To bring it back sooner:

• ImmiReport, Latest draws, ITA deadline, Processing time — add it from the Widgets menu.
• Recommendations, Smart Journey, Your reported progress — use Auto.

Reorder widgets

1. Hover over a widget. A drag handle appears in the narrow gutter to its left.
2. Drag it onto another widget.
3. Watch the drop hint before you release:

Hint	Where it lands
A line down the left edge	Immediately before that widget
A line down the right edge	Immediately after that widget
A ring around the whole card	Beside it, sharing that row

A row holds two widgets at most, and there are three rows. The layout saves as soon as you drop.

Auto

Auto sits at the top of the Widgets menu. It discards your arrangement and rebuilds the dashboard for where you are now: the widgets that suit your current stage, in their intended order. It also clears your hidden list, so anything you dismissed can come back, and clears the case you had pinned as the focus for the timeline and processing widgets.

Use it when the dashboard has drifted out of step with your situation — or to recover a widget the Widgets menu does not offer.

When your journey stage changes

Your layout is tied to the stage it was built for. When that stage changes — you update your immigration journey, report an invitation, retain us, or an application is submitted — Lexpoint rebuilds the dashboard on your next visit, exactly as Auto does. The rebuild is saved, your hidden list is cleared, and the case you had pinned as the focus is cleared. Widgets you hid for the old stage can reappear.

The right sidebar

Different rules, on wide screens only. Three blocks at most, starting with Consultations and Proposals — plus Cases in third place if you have never arranged the sidebar and a permanent-residence case with us has been submitted, or you hold both a permanent-residence and a temporary-residence case.

• Add — Add widget at the bottom of the column opens the list; pick one, or Cancel. Once three are placed the control is replaced by All available blocks are in your sidebar.
• Remove — hover a block and click the × beside its heading.
• Reorder — drag the handle at the left of a block’s heading onto another block.

Sidebar changes save immediately and do not reload the page. A removal sticks: the freed slot stays empty until you add something to it, and a journey stage change does not refill it.

Choosing which draws appear

The Latest Draws widget has its own slots — four across a full-width row, two when it shares a row. Remove a draw with the × on its tile, then use an empty slot’s Add draw control to search the program list and pick another. These picks are saved to your account alongside the rest of your layout.
