Dashboard Customization

Dashboards are made up of panels, or gadgets, that display information. You can add or customize dashboards with the gadgets you need to do your work. (The MLS and Classic dashboards have a fixed layout, and you cannot change them.)

Tip

The following Guided Help tours are available for this function in Flexmls. When you click on a link, an instance of Flexmls will open in a new browser tab and instruction bubbles will guide you through the process.

Add Gadgets

Gadgets are available for many of the main functions of Flexmls Web, as well as third-party integrations such as Facebook. To add a gadget to a dashboard under your control, click Customize and select Add Gadgets.
