Hey folks,

I have started working with Real-Time LCA & I am still getting the hang of how everything connects. I am trying to build a live dashboard that pulls in environmental impact data & updates smoothly. I have manage some basic stuff but now I am stuck trying to figure out the best way to structure the data inputs & get everything flowing properly without delays.

The goal is to monitor sustainability metrics in real time but I am not sure how to handle the data sources efficiently; Anyone here built something similar or have tips on what to watch out for during setup?

I completed a [Power BI Training](https://www.igmguru.com/data-science-bi/power-bi-certification-training) a while back & while it helped me understand dashboards in general I am not sure how much of that knowledge directly applies here. Aslo i have check this [Need Help Understanding RealTimeLCA](https://community.realtimelca.com/t/need-help-understanding-realtimelca/261) still need help.

I appreciate any advice or examples you could share.

Thank you.🙂
