# Creating a Dashboard

You can construct a HeavyImmerse dashboard following these steps:

1. [Start a New Dashboard](https://docs.heavy.ai/immerse/working-with-dashboards/..#starting-a-new-dashboard)
2. [Add One or More Charts](https://docs.heavy.ai/immerse/working-with-dashboards/..#adding-a-chart)
3. [Title and Save the Dashboard](https://docs.heavy.ai/immerse/working-with-dashboards/..#titling-and-saving-a-dashboard)

Once you save the dashboard, [you can share it](https://docs.heavy.ai/immerse/working-with-dashboards/duplicating-and-sharing-dashboards) with other HEAVY.AI users.

## Starting a New Dashboard

Connect to Immerse by pointing a web browser to port 6273 on your HeavyDB server. When you launch Immerse, the landing page is a list of saved dashboards. You click **New Dashboard** in the upper right to configure a custom dashboard.

## Titling and Saving a Dashboard

To title and save a dashboard:

1. Click the title area.
2. Type a title.
3. Click **Save**.

## Using Dashboard Tabs

Dashboard tabs enable you add multiple pages to a dashboard. Using tabs can reduce the number of charts on a dashboard page and make it easier to find the chart you want.

By default, dashboard tabs are disabled. To enable tabs, in your server.json file, set `"ui/dashboard-tabs"`to `"true"`.

Dashboard tabs are located at the bottom left of the dashboard. The dashboard shown below has three tabs: **Config UI** (selected tab), **Locked axis on scatter**, and **New Combo improvements**:

Click a tab to open it, or use the right arrow icon to move to the next tab. Hovering on a tab reveals the three-dot menu, which you can use to duplicate, rename, or delete a tab.

{% hint style="info" %}
Using a tabbed dashboard affects some dashboard actions you take. **Refresh** and **Add Chart** affect only the tab that you are currently viewing. **Share**, **Duplicate**, and **Save** affect all tabs on the dashboard.
{% endhint %}

## Deleting a Dashboard

To delete a dashboard:

1. Click **Dashboards**.
2. Mouse over the dashboard you want to delete.
3. Click **X** at the end of the dashboard row.
