Arrange mode: reorder, hide and reset any page

A receptionist and an owner open the same My day and want different things first. Arrange lets each person put their page in their own order without anyone else noticing.

By the end of this pageYou will be able to rearrange and hide sections on any page, reset to the default, and understand how personal, role and business layouts stack.

  1. Press Arrange, top right of any page that has it — My day, Housekeeping, Invoices, and more with each release.
  2. Drag sections by the handle into the order you read them in.
  3. Hide anything you never use. Hidden sections are not deleted and reappear with Reset.
  4. Done. Saved for you, on every device you sign in from.
  5. Reset returns the page to the default for your role.

Three layers

The business default — set by an admin for everyone; a building that never uses the calendar hides it here. The role default — what a receptionist sees first versus a manager; also set by an admin. Your own — whatever you drag. Your own wins; then role; then business. Reset removes only your layer.

What Arrange cannot do

Add a section from another page, change what a section shows, or reveal something your role cannot see — hiding and ordering are the whole feature. A hidden money section is still a money section; a receptionist who un-hides it still cannot see it. Layouts are validated against the registry of sections on save, so a crafted request cannot smuggle anything in.

Forms too

Admins can arrange the rows of the main forms — the client form, the unit form, the employment form — for the whole business: move the rows you fill first to the top, keep paired fields together, and leave rows the paper needs where the paper has them. Arranging forms.

Why sections, not widgets. Sections are the page's own parts in a new order. A widget system would let anyone put anything anywhere and make every page a different product for support to reason about. This keeps the pages recognisable — and fast.
