## LOAD DASHBOARD

*Kinetica* provides a SQL interface for loading
[Reveal](/content/bi/reveal) *dashboards* from a variety of sources:

* [KiFS](/content/tools/kifs) path
* Cloud provider via [data source](/content/sql/ddl#sql-create-data-source)
* Public URL (GitHub, etc.)

```sql title="LOAD DASHBOARD Syntax" theme={null}
LOAD DASHBOARD "<dashboard name>"
FROM FILE PATH '<file path>'
[WITH OPTIONS (DATASOURCE = '<data source name>')]
```

### Parameters

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="<dashboard name>" id="<dashboard-name>" defaultOpen>
    Name of the *dashboard*.

    <Note>
      This name **must** match the name of the *dashboard* in the file.
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="<file path>" id="<file-path>" defaultOpen>
    *Dashboard* source file path.

    If a *data source* is specified, the path must resolve to an accessible file at that location.

    If no *data source* is specified, the file path can refer to one of two locations:

    * Public URL

    * [KiFS](/content/tools/kifs) path
