Set a segment as default instead of all users

Is there anyway of making a segmant of users being default when viewing my dashboard? It’s starting to be a bit of a hassle always changing it.

For refrence I’m a product of a small app, even a few programmers or system administrators that are lurking inside the prod environment is tipping the scale.

you could create a custom dashboard with this segment applied and then set that dashboard as default?

Tried to but didn’t succeed, I’m new to this…
Any hint maybe on how to do it?

Yes, you are right, I am sorry. I thought this was once possible, but I can’t do it in our Matomo 5.1.2. I should have tested it before posting.

I can’t find a way to set a segment as default for a dashboard. And I can’t find a way to set a dashboard as default and neither as default per user.

So Iam afraid I don’t have an answer to your question :frowning:

I think the only way to help yourself here is to bookmark a URL that shows the segment directly.
The problem with such URLs is often the date they contain. Matomo knows “today”, for example:
…/index.php?module=CoreHome&action=index&idSite=1&period=day&date=today#?period=month&date=today&segment=adClickId%3D%3DEAIaIQobChMIkbvI0v_0iAMVoKdoCR17tjWtEAAYAiAAEgLo2fD_BwE&category=Dashboard_Dashboard&subcategory=1

Currently it is not possible to set a segment to load as ‘default’ from within the dashboard. We do have an open feature request to see this implemented in a future update, as there have been a number of requests for this. Feel free to add any comments for seeing this via the following page. This can help gain traction for this being implemented sooner. - https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/issues/5125
