Why don't I see a dashboard in Confluence like is shown in the documentation?

[Josh Dittmar]

This is the dashboard on my site  v. Confluence 7.2.1

This is the dashboard shown in the documentation. - How can I get that view? Is it a settings issue?

Hi @Josh Dittmar and welcome to Community!

It may indeed be a configuration issue, you can check it here: 

1. Go to General Configuration > Further Configuration
2. Check if the homepage is set to dashboard

(more information here: Configuring the Site Home Page)

If you're not a Confluence admin and can't go check the configuration, you can access the dashboard at <yourConfluenceURL>/#all-updates

Hope this helps,

You also have an option to set the Dashboard as your Site Homepage on your profile - even when it's not your site default. 

• Profile > Settings > Site Homepage :)
• Choose Your Home Page 

Cheers.
