After you successfully logged in to Mahara, you see your *Dashboard*. This is your homepage where you can see the latest activity of you and other users on Mahara. You can customise the dashboard so that you always see the items that are most important to you.

Only you can see your dashboard. Nobody else has access to it.

Overview

22.

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.

23.

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

24.

**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.

25.

**Search**: :index:`Search <single: Fulltext search>` for users who have an account to view their profile page and check which pages they have made accessible to you. If your site has fulltext search available, you can search for anything on the site using this search box.

26.

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>`.

27.

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.
