Overview
Your CRM’s Home Tabs feature lets you customize the home page to highlight the information and workflows that matter most to your business.
By choosing which tabs appear—and who can access them—you ensure that users (both internal staff and merchants) see the most important day-to-day data immediately after logging in. This improves visibility, efficiency, and productivity.
This article explains how to manage and configure Home Tabs.
Prerequisites
- Administrator access to the CRM.
- Familiarity with the Home Dashboard Customization tools.
- Correct user class permissions configured for anyone who will view or edit tabs.
Navigating to Home Dashboard Customization
- Navigate to Manage → Home Page → Home Tabs.
-
The Home Dashboard Customization page opens and displays your list of available tabs.
How Home Tabs Work
Home Tabs appear on the Merchant Central home page and help you surface the information that matters most to your users.
Each Home Tab can include one or more components, such as the appointment board, calendar, lead or merchant reports, custom media, slideshows, and other tailored content.
Each tab can also be configured with access permissions so it is only visible to selected user classes.
Adding a New Home Tab

- In the popup:
- Enter the Name for the tab.
- Add a Description (optional).
- Select the User Classes that should have access.

Click Add to save the tab. It will appear in the tabs list and can be further customized.
💡To change the tab order, drag and drop tabs into the desired position.
