Comments.Text: Civi has a couple different dashboards. Can you edit your question to say *which* dashboard you are talking about and what exactly you'd like to do with it? That will help people give you the answers you need.

Comments.Text: Thank you for your help. I was referring to the end user forms such as the Use dashboard; profile; contribution page and event page. How can I create a custom page for a end user to view online?
  Thank you again. Sincerely,

Comments.Text: Please *edit* your question instead of creating an answer or a comment or a new question. It's still not  clear exactly what you want to do. Modify how? Create a custom page to do what? What is your goal? What documentation have you read so far, what have you tried, and where are you stuck? Please add these details to your question.

  username_3 covers basic customization of the main dashboard (assuming that's the dashboard you're referring to). You can also customize further:
  
  * If you're running Drupal, [Views in Dashlets](https://www.drupal.org/project/civicrm_views_dashlets) is a great way to get highly-customized dashlets with no coding.
  * If you ARE looking for coding suggestions, [hook\_civicrm\_dashboard](https://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/hook_civicrm_dashboard) is the place to look. Also check out [hook\_civicrm\_dashboard\_defaults](https://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/hook_civicrm_dashboard_defaults) to handle setting the default dashlets for your users.
