As stated, the Dashboard is a special Confluence Entity:
- It is not part of a space
- It is changed via partly Wiki, partly scripting
- Is the Default landing page, and still - not always....
So, ; so You might wonder If You want to use the Dashboard at all, or use a Page instead, there are not so many good reasons for the first, as (in my opinion) using a page has most benefits.

The Dashboard can only be changed via Confluence Administration -> Configuration -> Look And Feel -> Layouts - Global Layout. Refer to Global Layout

- Redirect users from the dashboard to the page, using
- A Trafficmanager / Firewall / Web proxy with URL rewrite capabilities
- Using a plugin like the Customware Visability plugin to redirect from the Dashboard to the page the page by either placing the redirect in the Global Layout or the Welcome message - see Using the Customware Redirection Plugin)
