# Getting Started

Getting started with ChainArgos is easy, so don't be overwhelmed by the seemingly countless options available to you, they'll make more sense and can add much more value as you grow accustomed to using the platform.&#x20;

In this section, you'll learn about:&#x20;

1. [ChainArgos Landing Page](https://docs.chainargos.com/documentation/getting-started/chainargos-launch-page)&#x20;
2. [Exploring Your First "Look" ](https://docs.chainargos.com/documentation/getting-started/exploring-your-first-look)
3. [Customizing Your First "Look" ](https://app.gitbook.com/o/tOGhLKeMfWz52eOrPasV/s/Cgjz9nFZqIwynK1SO4gz/~/changes/134/getting-started/customizing-your-first-look)

## 1. Under the Hood

ChainArgos is compatible with Google Cloud's Looker, one of the best Business Intelligence tools available. &#x20;

While ChainArgos documentation guides you through specific configurations, more generic documentation on Looker can be found here:&#x20;

Google also provides a series of on-line free tutorial classes for those that prefer that approach:

## 2. The Basics

Terms such as "Looks" and "Dashboards" will be used throughout this documentation, here's the difference between "Looks" and "Dashboards."&#x20;

### 2.1 Looks

Looks are saved visualizations, single visualizations, created in the "Explore" section of ChainArgos and are used to understand and analyze data.&#x20;

Looks can be shared and reused in multiple other dashboard implementations.

### 2.2 Dashboards&#x20;

Dashboards are multiple Looks combined on a single page.&#x20;

Dashboards allow you to place multiple tables or graphs or Looks on one page, so that you can get a quick view of the related content. If you like, you can also make Dashboards interactive, for instance with dropdown selectors, so users can filter them down to the specific data they are interested in.
