Hi,

i am stuck in a fresh installed Cloud-Trial version having no option to create a dashboard.  
What i see if i click on the 3 stripes and then on "dashboard" is:

But what i want to see is something like in your tutorial:

Hello,

Once you make sure there is some data in your elasticsearch - either you ingested the data or used sample data - please make sure there are dataviews here -

You need to them to do any sort of work in Kibana.

After that you can go and click on dashboards from the side menu here -

And then voila - you are on dashboards page.

Thanks,
