### Begin dashboard creation from data source configuration
You can start the process of creating a dashboard directly from a data source rather than from the **Dashboards** page.
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.
- Select one of the suggested dashboards by clicking its **Use dashboard** button. This can be helpful when you're not sure how to most effectively visualize your data.
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.
