[Closed for comments] Customization of the dashboard

In the new Zendesk Interface, the dashboard by default displays a "Tickets Requiring Your Attention" view. (I realize this is not a "view" in the Zendesk-defined sense)  This way of looking at tickets is not customizable - the fields displayed cannot be altered, the column widths cannot be changed, and there's no way to "anchor" alternate views on the left side where the existing icons (for dashboard, reporting, settings, etc) reside.  Those are features we consider vital in order for us to use the Lotus interface.  The most glaring omission on the default dashboard is the absence of the ticket number.  It would be great if Zendesk started by making that change, and then making the dashboard customizable so that it has real value to those users who need a different dataset than Zendesk has provided by default.

    Just piling on.  If the Dashboard doesn't allow for customization of content, how about at least allowing us to remove it from sight?

    Hello everyone - thank you for continuing to champion this issue. I understand it is frustrating not to hear back from us, and I sincerely apologize for that. I am revisiting this with our Product team internally and I hope to have a viable option for you in the near future. I can't promise this will happen or give an ETA, as I'm with our Support team, but I wanted you to know that you have been heard and we are taking all of your feedback seriously.

    Thanks Bob.  We'll be looking forward to hearing what the Zendesk team comes up with as a solution.

    We are currently evaluating the best approach for this, trying to keep it "beautifully simple". I don't have an ETA but I have seen a few mockups so we do have some progress. I'll try to update you more frequently than we have in the past. Thanks again for your great feedback, patience, and understanding.

    If one can't customize this dashboard - then it would be nice for you to be able to choose a view you create yourself as the default page that opens when you log in and/or click the home button in the interface.  

    If the dashboard doesn't meet our purposes and needs - it would be nice to get it out of the way.  Thanks.

    I really need this feature too! Please make it available as soon as possible! If the views can adjusted, why can't the home page?????

    I have been following this request for almost all of the two years it has been open and it continues to disappoint me that there has been no movement on it. I've resorted to using hacky javascript code I wrote to avoid the dashboard altogether even though I would love a proper Zendesk dashboard.

    Wow. New customer here. I found this thread after searching for the right admin setting to customize the dashboard, because *of course* that would be something you can do – but it isn't! I can't even believe it. So yes. Consider this my upvote!

    Steve (and others),

    I think you should bring your vote at the buttons at the left of the post. Something new since a while. Should give Zendesk more insights of our wishes.
