# Quickstart

### 1. Write A Query

Let's explore how to write a query: **click on “Create” in the navigation bar, and then choose “Query”**. See the [Creating and Editing Queries](https://docs.inverse.watch/user-guide/queries/creating-and-editing-queries) for detailed instructions on how to write queries.

### 2. Add Visualizations&#x20;

By default, your query results (data) will appear in a simple table. Visualizations are much better to help you digest complex information, so let’s visualize your data. The application supports [multiple types of visualizations](https://docs.inverse.watch/user-guide/visualizations/visualizations-types) so you should find one that suits your needs.

Click the “New Visualization” button just above the results to select the perfect visualization for your needs. You can view more detailed instructions [here](https://docs.inverse.watch/user-guide/visualizations/visualizations-how-to).

### 3. Create Dashboard

You can combine visualizations and text into thematic & powerful dashboards. Add a new dashboard by clicking on “Create” in the navigation bar, and then choose “Dashboard”. Dashboards are visible for your team members or they can be shared publicly. For more details, [click here](https://docs.inverse.watch/user-guide/dashboards/creating-and-editing-dashboards).
