Lasting Impressions Gifts is an Ottawa-based premium gift boutique selling jewellery, gourmet treats, home décor, and baby gifts — both online and in-store. We have a lean team managing multiple staff roles with different operational needs.
What feedback do you want?
We need the ability to customize the top summary metrics bar on the Shopify Admin Home screen. Currently it is fixed and cannot be changed by the store owner, per staff member, or by role. For a store with multiple staff (manager, fulfillment, marketing), the fixed metrics are not relevant to everyone’s daily operations. We are requesting: (1) store-wide default metric configuration set by the owner, and (2) optional per-staff or per-role customization. This would make the Home screen a genuinely useful operational tool rather than a one-size-fits-all display.
I think this is a very reasonable feature request, especially for stores where different team members have different responsibilities.
The metrics that are most valuable to a store owner aren’t necessarily the same ones a fulfillment team member, marketing specialist, or customer service representative needs to see at the start of their day. A fixed dashboard can end up displaying information that’s less relevant to the person using it.
Giving store owners the ability to set a default Home dashboard for the entire store, while allowing individual staff members to customize it based on their role or workflow, would make the Admin Home much more useful.
Even something as simple as letting users choose which summary metrics are displayed and in what order would help each team member focus on the information that’s most relevant to their daily tasks.
I think this would be a valuable enhancement for merchants of all sizes, particularly those with multiple staff members managing different areas of the business.

This is a public community and it won’t reach the team who builds the admin, it’s merchants and partners here, so post it on community.shopify.dev where Shopify’s product people actually engage, and lead with the per-role case rather than “make it customizable,” since that’s the part that’s genuinely hard to argue against.
This would be a valuable improvement for stores with multiple staff members and distinct responsibilities. A single set of dashboard metrics rarely serves everyone equally. For example, a fulfillment team may care about unfulfilled orders, while a marketing team is more interested in sales trends and conversion metrics.
Allowing store owners to define a default set of Home dashboard metrics, along with optional per-user or per-role customization, would make the Shopify Admin far more relevant and efficient. It would let each team member see the KPIs that matter most to their daily work without affecting anyone else’s dashboard, improving productivity while keeping the Home screen felxible for businesses of all sizes.
I think this would be a valuable improvement, especially for stores with multiple staff members handling different responsibilities.
A fulfillment team may want to see unfulfilled orders and shipping-related metrics, while a marketing team would benefit more from sales trends, conversion metrics, or returning customers. Likewise, store owners and managers often need a broader business overview.
Allowing store owners to set a default dashboard and giving each staff member or role the option to customize their own summary metrics would make the Shopify Admin Home much more useful and improve day-to-day efficiency without affecting other users’ workflows.
This kind of role-based dashboard customization would be a great enhancement for growing teams.
This would be a valuable improvement. Different staff focus on different KPIs, so a customizable home metrics bar—both store-wide and per-user would make the Shopify Admin much more useful. it seems like a simple change that could have a big impact on day-to-day operations

I think this would be a valuable improvement especially for stores where multiple team members use the Shopify Admin throughout the day.
The Home dashboard is often the first thing people see when they log in, so it makes sense that it should surface the information that’s most relevant to their role. A fulfillment team might care about unfulfilled orders while someone in marketing is more interested in traffic or conversion metrics.
Even something as simple as allowing users to choose a handful of widgets or reorder the existing metrics would make the dashboard much more practical. It would save time and reduce the need to jump between reports just to find the information needed for daily tasks.
Hopefully Shopify considers adding some level of dashboard personalization in a future update as it would benefit stores of all sizes, not just larger teams.
