The settings only apply to your dashboard.

Moving, collapsing, printing or removing a block

  • Move: grab the block by its title bar, to the left of the buttons, and drag it where you want, in the same column or in the other one. While you move it, both columns light up to show where to drop it.
  • Collapse: the arrow reduces the block to its title; click it again (Expand) to reopen it. Handy for a block you rarely look at.
  • Print: opens the block as a PDF in a new tab, ready to print or save.
  • Remove: the cross removes the block straight away, without asking for confirmation. Nothing is lost: the data stays in GestiClub, and you can put the block back at any time with New block.

GestiClub saves each change by itself: there is no button to click.

Going back to the starting dashboard

To start again from scratch, remove all the blocks from your dashboard. GestiClub then shows "Your dashboard is empty. Add a block to get started." Click Dashboard in the navigation bar: GestiClub puts back the starting dashboard that matches your role.
