# Dashboard quickstart

> Describe what you want to track, build a dashboard with Dash, share it with your company, and schedule a weekly Excel report to your own email.

Tell Dash what information you want to track. In this guide, you will create a dashboard, share it with your company, and have it emailed to you every week.

## Open a new dashboard

Open your company's Galvant app. Click **Dashboards** in the app sidebar, then **New dashboard**. Click **Ask Dash** to open the conversation panel.

## Describe what you want to track

Describe the information you need in your own words. Dash chooses how to organize and visualize it.

You can also choose an example below, copy its message, and send it to Dash. Pick an area covered by your company's connected data.

## Review and save your dashboard

Look through the dashboard Dash proposes. Check that it shows the information you asked for, then click **Approve all** to save it.

If something needs to change, tell Dash what you want adjusted before approving.

## Share it with your company

1. Click **Share** in the dashboard header.
2. Choose **Everyone**, then click **Save changes**. This lets people in your company with Dashboards access view it.
3. Reopen **Share** and click **Copy link**. You can send this link to your teammates.

## Receive it by email every week

Set up a report to arrive in your own inbox every Monday at 9:00.

**1. Open a new email schedule**

Click **Schedule email** > **Scheduled sends** > **New schedule**.

**2. Set the recipient and weekly time**

In **Recipients**, keep only your own email address. If you enter it, press **Enter** to add it.

Set **Start** to next Monday, **Repeat** to **Weekly**, and **Every** to **1**. Under **On**, select only Monday. Set **Time** to **09:00** and check that **Timezone** is your timezone.

**3. Save the schedule**

Check the **Occurs** summary, then click **Create schedule**. Your saved schedule now appears in the list. Each email will include an Excel report of the dashboard.

> [!NOTE]

> Schedule the same dashboard to a publishable sample email every Monday at 09:00. Show the recipient, timezone, recurrence summary, and saved schedule in the list. End before any email is sent for the capture.

You now have a dashboard you can revisit, a link your teammates can open, and a weekly report scheduled for your inbox.
