Customize your dashboard

You can move, resize, or remove every tile on a dashboard. You can also add your own saved reports as new tiles. Hero Marketer saves changes as you make them. There is no save button.

Move and resize tiles​

  • Move a tile. Drag it by the grip handle (Drag to move) in its top right corner, next to the tile's menu. The other tiles move out of the way.
  • Resize a tile. Drag its bottom right corner. Tiles snap to a 12-column grid. A full-width tile spans the page, and a half-width tile sits next to another tile. A tile is at least 3 columns wide.
  • Remove a tile. Open the tile's menu (the three dots) and choose Remove from dashboard.

When you remove a tile, it comes off this dashboard only. If the tile was a saved report, the report stays in your reports library.

On a phone or a narrow window, the tiles stack in one column. A new tile is half width and goes below the other tiles. For the best result, arrange tiles on a wide screen.

Add a report as a tile​

Use Add report at the top right of the dashboard. You get two options:

  • Create report opens the report builder. When you finish, Hero Marketer adds the new report to the dashboard you started from.
  • Pick an existing report from the list below. The list shows only the saved reports that are not already on this dashboard. If every report is already here, the menu shows "Every report is already on this dashboard. Create a new one."

Any saved report can sit on a dashboard as a tile. A named dashboard holds up to 50 reports. See Create a report.

Change a default tile​

The seven Overview tiles are built in reports. The reports library lists them as Default reports. Click a tile's title to open its report page. See Default reports.

To change what a default tile shows:

  1. Open the tile's menu and choose Edit report. The report builder opens with the tile's settings.
  2. Change the data source, chart type, metrics, or rows to show.
  3. Choose Save report. Hero Marketer saves your own copy in the reports library.

The tile on the dashboard does not change. To show your copy on this dashboard, use Add report and pick your copy. Then remove the default tile.

For example, to change what the Device breakdown tile shows, edit the default tile and save your own copy.

Copy or move a tile to another dashboard​

A tile's menu has two options to send the tile to another dashboard:

  • Copy to dashboard adds the tile to another named dashboard or to the Overview. The tile stays here too. Hero Marketer shows "Copied to dashboard." When the other dashboard already has the report, Hero Marketer shows "Already on that dashboard."
  • Move to dashboard adds the tile to another named dashboard and removes it from this one. It lists only named dashboards, not the Overview.

These options appear only when there is another dashboard to send the tile to. See Create and manage dashboards.

Reset the Overview​

On the Overview, the menu next to Export PDF has Reset to default layout. This puts the seven default tiles back in their original positions and discards your arrangement for that account. It also brings back a default tile that you removed. It does not change any reports you created, and it does not change your named dashboards.

You can also get a removed default tile back with Copy to dashboard from another dashboard that has it.

Where your layout is saved​

This is different for the two kinds of view. It matters if you use more than one computer:

  • The Overview layout stays in your browser, separately for each Google Ads account. It does not follow you to another browser or another device. If you clear your browser data, the Overview returns to the seven default tiles.
  • Hero Marketer saves named dashboards with the Google Ads account. Their layouts are the same in any browser you sign in from. Other people who connect the same Google Ads account see them too. Only the person who created a named dashboard can change its tiles.

If you want an arrangement you see everywhere, build it as a named dashboard, and do not rearrange the Overview.

"Report unavailable" on a tile​

A tile that shows Report unavailable points at a deleted report. You deleted the report, or the teammate who created the report deleted it. The report is gone, not hidden. To clear the tile, open its menu and choose Remove from dashboard.
