## Create a dashboard
Dashboards and panels allow you to show your data in visual form. Each panel needs at least one query to display a visualization.

- Understand the query language of the target data source.
- Ensure that data source for which you are writing a query has been added. For more information about adding a data source, refer to [Add a data source](ref:add-a-data-source) if you need instructions.
