Hi,
I think that Philip got confused here.
His recommendations only apply if you have the "dashboard legacy" setting activated in the HikaShop configuration and thus using the old dashboard.
The old dashboard of HikaShop is customizable with many settings, but doesn't look nice.
The new dashboard you're using right now doesn't have yet settings to customize it. It's potentially much more customizable than the old one, but so much so that we don't have yet a clear picture of how we could display settings to customize it.
So for now, with the new checkout, if you wanted to modify the way it works, it would require the development of a custom plugin or directly hacking in the core code handling the statistics.
