You can change certain aspects of your dashboard, namely the :ref:`user-specific information <user_specific_information>`, but a lot of what you see is static to allow you to quickly access other parts of Mahara.

Your homepage is your dashboard from which you can access a number of areas in Mahara conveniently.

**General navigation bar**: Move from one area of Mahara to the next. This can be done by having a second-level navigation that is tabbed or a drop-down menu.

**Username**: The username is displayed to indicate who is logged in esp. when viewing portfolio pages where the profile block is not visible. This feature is only present when :ref:`small page headers <small_headers>` are not turned on. You can click on it to go to your profile page.

**Settings**: This link gives you access to your :ref:`account settings and notifications <settings>`.

In the *User search* box you can most often search for users' :ref:`display name <about_me>`. Depending on the settings that the site administrator made, you may also be able to search for users' :ref:`real name and username <user_settings>`. If the site administrator allowed users to hide their real name, you can do so in your :ref:`general account options <general_account_options>`.

To provide you with the most relevant search results, you automatically search only for users within your own institution, but can choose to search for everyone on your Mahara installation on the :ref:`"Find friends" search page <find_friends>` you are taken to.
