Your dashboard doesn’t just have to work—it should look the part too. With Hurree, you can tailor everything from layout and visual style to widget behaviour and even apply your company’s branding. Here's how to make your dashboards truly yours.

❓Why Customise Your Dashboard?

A well-organised and branded dashboard doesn’t just look good—it improves understanding, team alignment, and professionalism when sharing with stakeholders. Whether you're showcasing campaign results or tracking performance, make your dashboard feel like an extension of your brand.

🎨 Start with Visual Structure

🧩 Create Dashboard Sections

Organise your widgets into sections to give your dashboard a clear flow.

Option 1: From the Dashboard Menu

  • Open your dashboard

  • Click the three dots (•••) in the top right corner

  • Select Create Section

  • Add a section name and (optional) description

  • Click Create — your section will appear at the bottom

Option 2: Quick Add at the Bottom

  • Scroll to the end of your dashboard

  • Click Create Section

  • Fill in the section name and description

  • Hit Create

→ Drag & Drop to Organise: Move widgets into your new section with a simple drag and drop. You can rearrange anytime.

⚙️ Fine-Tune Widget Settings

Each widget can be tailored to match your preferred data style:

  • Edit Titles & Labels: Click into any widget to rename it or adjust what’s displayed.

  • Adjust Display Type: Choose a number, line chart, pie chart, bar chart, or other chart type depending on what you need to highlight.

  • Add Annotations or Benchmarks: Provide context or set performance targets right inside your widget settings.

Pro Tip: Use contrasting widget styles to break up sections and highlight key metrics.

🖌️ Apply Your Brand with Custom Branding

Custom branding adds a professional touch, especially in shared dashboards and PDF exports.

How to Set It Up:

Step 1: Go to Account Settings
Click your profile icon (bottom left) → select Account Settings

Step 2: Find the Customise Tab
Navigate to the Customise section.

Step 3: Upload Your Logo
Click Upload under the Custom Branding section

Step 4: Select Your Brand Colours

Let Riva AI suggest colours from your logo

Or manually select with a colour picker or enter hex codes

Step 5: Preview & Save
Preview how your branding will appear on snapshots and dashboards
Click Save Changes when happy

Now, your brand colours and logo will automatically appear on all reports, making every share feel like your own.

🌙 Switch to Dark Mode for a Sleeker Look

Prefer working with less glare or just love a darker aesthetic? Hurree lets you switch to Dark Mode in just a few clicks.

How to Enable Dark Mode:

  1. Click your profile icon in the bottom left-hand corner.

  2. Select Account Settings from the menu.

  3. Under the Customise section, toggle Dark Mode on.

Once enabled, the entire platform—including dashboards, widgets, and side navigation—will shift to a darker theme, helping reduce eye strain and improve visibility in low-light environments.

🌟 Bonus: Dark Mode settings are user-specific, so you can choose what works best without affecting your team’s view.

🧠 Final Tip:

Customisation isn’t just for aesthetics—it’s a way to bring clarity, focus, and impact to your reporting. Make your data easier to understand and your dashboards easier to love.

🗣️ Ask Riva:

  • “How do I add a section to my dashboard?”

  • “Where do I upload our logo?”

  • “Can I change widget colours or layout?”
