# Building Dashboards

> Create dashboards from questions and charts

## Overview

Dashboards in Daymark are built from the answers you generate on the Explore page.
You ask a question, review the chart or table, and add the best insights to a dashboard.

## Before You Start

Make sure you have:

* Reviewed the [Quickstart](/getting-started/quickstart) if you're new to Daymark
* A connected data source
* A set of questions you want the dashboard to answer

## Guidance on Selecting Questions

A dashboard is only as useful as the questions behind it.
Choose questions that:

* Tie directly to goals or KPIs
* Can be acted on by your team
* Explain trends, changes, or performance gaps

***

## Next Steps

After building the dashboard, share it with your team and keep it updated as data changes.
