Hello there, I am new to Appium and try to build some tests for the company. I have installed the lastes version of Appium and the dashboard plugin here, [https://github.com/sudharsan-selvaraj/appium-dashboard-plugin](https://github.com/sudharsan-selvaraj/appium-dashboard-plugin). But I do not see anything on the dashboard when I run the test code via VS code or the insepctor. I have tired hard to find the answer for a week but there is no manual or something Where can I start, and what do I need to use the dashboard? Thank you in advance. ---

did you started your appium server with ```auto appium --use-plugin=appium-dashboard ``` ? ---

Sorry for making you confused. Yes, I did so I see the UI in my web browser, but there is no section in it. ![image](https://discuss.appium.io/uploads/default/original/2X/6/63302c937d3c77bcaa8e9064cb4d3142ea1cf9cc.png) ---

cause possibly you need to start sessions to make them visible. execute some test while appium started with `appium-dashboard` option see ```auto Now navigate to http://localhost:4723/dashboard to open the web app which will show the complete list of tests and its details that are being executed. ``` will show the complete list of tests and its details **that are being executed** ---
