# Getting Started: Looker

In the left sidebar under **Looker**, click on **Explores** or **Dashboards & Looks** to see everything in one place, ordered by popularity. Popularity in Looker is based on the number of views.

Use the **Filters** in the right sidebar to change which Explores you see based on level of popularity, [Tags](https://docs.selectstar.com/data-management/tag-management), and more.

The **Created By** filter on this page allows you to find Dashboards created by a specific user, if you click **+ Add Filter.**

The **Data Type** filter lets you filter by either Dashboards or Looks

<figure><img src="https://3470314135-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MgAiVthA_yg9UXKuhyY%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-42095c4c561ac74b7eb1490d4fcb94cb4fc488dc%2FScreenshot%202022-12-27%20at%208.23.15%20AM.png?alt=media" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The other filters work the same way as the ones on the [Explores](#explores) page, allowing you to see Dashboards and Looks with a specific tag or with a level of popularity.

Select Star displays a dashboard loading and quality status based on when the last dashboard or look run has happened. You may find the quality status from the following icons:

* :question:Indicates uncertain loading status. This dashboard has not been run in a while.
* :warning: This dashboard's last run was unsuccessful. One or more of the queries has an error.
* **No icon** on this page indicates the dashboard is loading successfully. No news is good news! Individual dashboard pages will show **Loading Status:** ✅

Click on a folder from the Dashboards & Looks hierarchy to see dashboards and looks filtered by that folder.
