Is there a Layout Settings in the work for the dashboard page?
The Details page has a Layout Settings which allows the user to choose between single and double column and the order of the various sections of the Details page.
I would like the same opportunity to establish the order of the various sections of the dashboard page or home when I sign in.
Several section along the right side of the page are more important and helpful to me on a daily basis. I would like to see them at the top for me. I realize that as a center director, my usage priority may be different from other users.
Thank you.

I would like to convert this question into and idea but I am not aware if this feature is already in development or installed and I have not found it as yet.

Thanks for the assist in getting this to the proper area. Still waiting for answer to the actual question.

@Leslie Edmunds, unless I misunderstand you, that feature is already there. Under Tools see "My Layout Settings" then see "Section Order." Drag and Drop to your preference. Sorry, image posting is still not working.

@Chas Howell, I'm pretty sure you've misunderstood: Leslie observes that profile details pages have this option. What's wanted is a similar tool on the home page.
For me, the left-hand column of the home page currently consists of the mystery "what would you like to share" box, and a bunch of time-stuck "new memory" boxes, all from six years ago. The right-hand column consists of the unlabeled "All Collections" search, then a collapsible "Ideas for Getting Started", then three (of 41) profiles with Record Hints (one "The wife of my 2nd great-granduncle" and two different "My 2nd great-grandaunt"-s), then a collapsible To-Do List, then the top 3 (besides myself) from my Recents list (also collapsible), then collapsible sections for Friends, Family Groups, and FamilySearch Labs.
Like Leslie, I have no use for some of those sections, and would prefer to move them down, or rather, to move the one part I actually use — the quick-access Recents list — up to the top. Alternatively, making all of the sections collapsible could help make the home page easier to use, without perhaps requiring quite as much reprogramming.

Julia,
Exactly what I was trying to explain. I need that quick access all the time and want it at the top. Due to refresh rates, I often roll past the section I want and then back up until I can find it.
I especially need this because RECENTS doesn't appear in the tool bar. So I have to click into a profile and then jump to RECENTS.
I use this every day at the beginning of every patron consultation so that I can jump to their family tree from the one I was just working on.
Thanks for jumping into the conversation.
Leslie
