# Add Data Sources

***

### Add a Data Source

A Dashboard can use several different data sources to display visuals from. In the following example we will add the default data store of Tricloud Nexus as data source. You will need to copy the Host Address of the Data store (Data Explorer Cluster URL) from Platform Settings.

1. Navigate to Platform Settings, select the Data Stores tab, then copy the Host Address of the Data Store you need for your dashboard visualization.

2. Go back to your Dashboard

If you have multiple Data stores in use by different Asset Hierarchies, you can simple import them as Data sources.
