To begin building a dashboard directly from a data source, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to **Connections > Data sources**.
1. On the row of the data source for which you want to build a dashboard, click **Build a dashboard**.
The empty dashboard page opens.
1. Do one of the following:
- Click **+Add visualization** to configure all the elements of the new dashboard.

The suggested dashboards are specific to your data source type (for example, Prometheus, Loki, or Elasticsearch). If there are more than three dashboard suggestions, you can click **View all** to see the rest of them.
