# Using SQL Notebook
Follow these steps to create a dashboard using a SQL Notebook:
1. Go to the **'SQL Notebook'** tab under the **'Notebook'** dropdown in the navigation bar.
2. Create a SQL Notebook, write and run a SQL query. The results will appear in the **'Data'** tab.
3. Switch to the **'Metrics'** tab to enter **Distributed metric mode**. Here, you can create charts by dragging dimensions and measures into the X and Y axes. You can also select the chart type (Line, Area, Bar, Pie), and add a **chart name** and **description**.
4. For Aggregated metrics, choose a metric from the dropdown, select a function (SUM, AVG, COUNT, MAX), and provide a chart name.
5. Once your chart is ready, you can save it by clicking **'Save as DM'** (for Distributed mode) or **'Save as AM'** (for Aggregated mode).
6. To create a dashboard, click the **'Dashboard'** tab at the top of the notebook. From the list of available metrics, select the ones you want and click **'Go to Dashboard'**. Provide the **dashboard name** and **description**, then click **'Add'** to create it.
