Build a basic dashboard using the visual editor.

1. From the dashboards listing page in any app, click Create New Dashboard.
2. Give your dashboard a title.
3. (Optional) Edit ID for your dashboard. By default, the Dashboard ID is the same as the Dashboard Title. You can edit the Dashboard Title at any time, but you can't change the Dashboard ID later.
   Note: Different dashboards in the same app can share the same Dashboard Title, but they can't share the same Dashboard ID. Dashboards in different apps, however, can share both titles and IDs. By editing the Dashboard ID, you can create multiple dashboards with identical titles in the same app
4. Under Dashboard type, select Dashboard Studio to build your dashboard. If you choose to use the Classic Dashboards framework, see Get Started with Dashboards.
5. Choose Absolute or Grid layout. For more information about both layouts, see Compare absolute and grid layouts.
6. Decide whether you want others to be able to view your dashboard or whether you'd like it to be private.
7. (Optional) Access the source editor.
   To access the source editor, click the source icon in the editing toolbar ().
   The source mode window shows the JSON source code that makes up your dashboard definition. The stanzas correspond to the visualizations you place on your dashboard and any searches or inputs you create. There is also a layout section that corresponds to the placement of objects. For more information on using the source editor, see About the Splunk Dashboard Studio editors
8. Save your dashboard. Click Save
