Dashboards are the homepage of Leadtime. They serve as a personalized overview where users can see all the information, tasks, and tools relevant to them right when they open the app.
Everyone can create their own dashboards, customize them, and design them to best fit their daily workflows.
Dashboards in Leadtime are a flexible tool to bundle information, tools, and reports all in one place.
Each user can create their own workspace — from quick time tracking to complex reporting views.
The first time you open Leadtime, it shows a standard dashboard called Overview (Übersicht).
This includes a set of preconfigured widgets that provide core info and tools — like task lists, calendars, time stats, or notifications.
On top, users can create as many custom dashboards as they want and tweak them to their liking.
At the top right, click “Add Dashboard”.
In the dialog window that pops up, enter a name for the new dashboard.
Confirm with “Save”.
The new dashboard will be created empty and you can fill it with widgets afterwards.
Widgets are the building blocks of a dashboard. They can display info (like task lists or charts) or offer tools (like time tracking).
Here's how to add a widget:
Click on “Add Widget”.
Choose a widget type from the dropdown menu.
Depending on the widget, you can configure extra options (like a data source or a view).
Click “Add” to place the widget.
Dashboards use a flexible six-column layout.
Each widget can be resized in both width and height:
Width: 1 – 6 columns (like one-third, half, or full width)
Height: freely resizable
You can move widgets by drag & drop and resize them.
At the bottom of each widget, there are arrows to resize, and at the top, three buttons:
Configure: Edit widget settings (e.g. change chart preset)
Duplicate: Create a copy of the widget
Delete: Remove widget
With the “Compact” button you can auto-arrange the view to save space.
Using “Exit Edit Mode” you'll leave edit mode and return to the normal view.
Attendance Widget (Quick check-in)
This widget lets you quickly clock in or out straight from your dashboard.
Here you can see your current working hours, pick your mood emoji and leave a quick note – something like “Lots of testing planned today”.
The widget helps you log attendance with barely any effort, no need to switch to the time tracking module.
It’s often used along with the Calendar Widget or Time Tracker Widget.
