# Hands-On Tutorial: Reporting Tools[¶](https://knowledge.dataiku.com/latest/courses/lab-to-flow/reporting/reporting.html#hands-on-tutorial-reporting-tools "Permalink to this headline")

Going back all the way to Basics 101, you have built a data pipeline in the Flow, deployed work from the Lab, and explored your data through a number of visualizations.

In this hands-on lesson in the Basics courses, let’s build a dashboard to communicate key insights from your project.

## Publish to a Dashboard[¶](https://knowledge.dataiku.com/latest/courses/lab-to-flow/reporting/reporting.html#publish-to-a-dashboard "Permalink to this headline")

Return to the previous DSS project where you deployed work from the Lab to the Flow. Your goal will be to publish the charts from the *customers\_labeled* dataset to a dashboard.

* Open the *customers\_labeled* dataset and navigate to the Charts tab.

* Click the blue Publish button on the top right.

* Select all four charts created in the previous hands-on exercise.

* You can choose to publish to the default dashboard or create a new one.

* You can choose to place the charts on multiple slides or just Slide 1.

Note

Compare this screen with the Charts tab of the previous visual analysis *Analyze customers\_joined*. Note that the “Publish to dashboard” button is not functional. Recall the previous lesson on the Lab to understand why this is the case!

## Explore Dashboard options[¶](https://knowledge.dataiku.com/latest/courses/lab-to-flow/reporting/reporting.html#explore-dashboard-options "Permalink to this headline")

Now let’s modify the layout and behavior of the dashboard.

* Adjust the placement and size of the charts on the slide(s).

* For each chart, experiment with options in the Tile menu, such as the click behavior.

* Change the slide title.

* Change the name of the dashboard.

## Publish from a Dashboard[¶](https://knowledge.dataiku.com/latest/courses/lab-to-flow/reporting/reporting.html#publish-from-a-dashboard "Permalink to this headline")

Let’s add another insight to the dashboard.

* Create a new slide.

* Click the “Add tile” icon (green circle with a plus sign) at the bottom right.

* Experiment adding different kinds of tiles.

* Add at least one new dataset to the dashboard.

## Export a dashboard[¶](https://knowledge.dataiku.com/latest/courses/lab-to-flow/reporting/reporting.html#export-a-dashboard "Permalink to this headline")

Warning

For this last step, you will need to have first enabled the dashboard and flow export feature.

When you are satisfied with your dashboard, you can export it.

* In the Actions tab of your dashboard, click the Export button.

* Adjust the file type, size, and orientation of your export as needed.

* Click “Export Dashboard”.
