Let me show you how you can prep for your next meeting in just a couple of clicks on Submittable. We'll do it by prepping our custom dashboard with the visualizations we need and then exporting it directly into slides.

Here's how to create a new visualization. On the analyze tab, use the search data bar to find the data you wish to visualize. Add the data points into the metrics, rows, or columns.

Optionally, add any filters.

Adjust the visualization by selecting the chart type.

Save it with a name you'll remember.

Once you've created your visualizations, add them to your dashboard by finding them under created by me with the saved visualizations.

Fill out your dashboard and feel free to move things around.

Now when it's time for your meeting, you simply export to slides. Done.
