Behavior

The following settings allow you to customize the behavior of GitLab's layout and default views of your dashboard and the projects' landing pages.

Layout width

GitLab can be set up to use different widths depending on your liking. Choose between the fixed (max. 1280px) and the fluid (100%) application layout.

NOTE: Note: While 1280px is the standard max width when using fixed layout, some pages still use 100% width, depending on the content.

Default dashboard

For users who have access to a large number of projects but only keep up with a select few, the amount of activity on the default Dashboard page can be overwhelming. Changing this setting allows you to redefine what your default dashboard will be.

You have 8 options here that you can use for your default dashboard view:

  • Your projects (default)

  • Your projects' activity
  • Starred projects' activity
  • Your groups
  • Your Todos
