Dashboard
The Home screen: one chart, then whichever widgets you decided to keep.
Updated
The Chart at the Top
One chart occupies the top of the dashboard, showing either your Net Worth or your Spending Trends. To swap between them, tap the swap arrows under the figure in the chart header - tapping anywhere in the header does the same thing.
Your choice is saved to your account, not to the device, so the dashboard reopens on whichever you last looked at wherever you sign in. The row of range buttons beneath changes when you swap, because the two charts offer different ranges - and the range, unlike the chart choice, is remembered per device. Tap a point on either chart to read the exact value for that date.
The chart is not a widget. You can decide which of the two shows by default, but you cannot hide it or move it down the page. More on the ranges in Chart & Graph Modes.
The Widgets
Below the chart, each widget is a summary of one part of your finances, and tapping into one takes you to the section behind it:
- Recent Activity - your latest transactions across every account, with a View Activity link into the all-activity list.
- Upcoming Activities - bills and expected income coming up, on a two-week strip.
- Monthly Budgets - how each budget is pacing this month.
- Annual Budgets - year-to-date progress on the annual ones.
- Monthly Top Spending - your biggest spending categories this month.
- Monthly Cash Flow - how this month’s income splits across bills, budgets and the rest of your spending.
- Goals - progress towards your targets. Completed goals drop off it.
- Insights and Suggestions - observations and recommended changes.
- Favourite Holdings and Favourite Net Worth - whatever you have starred.
WorryFree hides two of them for you
While WorryFree is switched on, Monthly Budgets and Needs Review do not appear at all - there are no per-category budgets for either of them to report on. That overrides the customiser, so switching them on there changes nothing until you turn WorryFree off again.
The Two That Come and Go
Two widgets appear on their own, only when there is something to act on:
- Needs Review - transactions still waiting on a decision from you. Each row says which: missing a budget, missing a category, or a refund not yet linked to an expense.
- Reconnect Banks - a linked institution that has stopped syncing and needs you to sign in again. See Troubleshooting Connections.
Both hide themselves once the list is clear, so an empty dashboard section is the good outcome rather than a missing feature.
They are listed in the customiser like every other widget, and you can drag them wherever you want them. What they do not have is an on/off switch, and that is deliberate: both are lists of things only you can resolve, so a hidden one would simply grow. Clearing the list is what makes the widget go away.
Making It Yours
- Scroll to the bottom of the dashboard and tap Customise.
- Toggle any widget on or off.
- Drag a row by its handle to reorder it.
- Tap Save. Cancel is what discards your edits. Reset to Default does something different - it replaces the staged list with Cadence Money’s own default arrangement, so it will not put your previously saved layout back.
Hiding a widget never deletes anything, and your order carries across every device you sign in on. Full detail in Dashboard Widgets.
Tip
A new account shows a default arrangement rather than a blank page. If a widget looks empty, it usually means that part of Cadence Money has nothing in it yet - add a budget or a goal and the widget fills in.
