**Step 3: What is the username and password used to log in to your dashboard?**

If this is your first dashboard connection, you'll need to create a username and password.

- Select **+Add a new dashboard username and password** from the username list

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Please enter the username and password associated with your Microsoft account

- Next, give your dashboard username and password a nickname to be easily identified later. The next time you look in the username and password list, you will see this nickname

**Step 4: Additional Settings**

- **What do you want to name your Beam Dashboard?**
  - Name your dashboard so you can easily find it within Beam
- **Reload Duration**
  - This setting determines how often Skykit will force your dashboard to reload. If it’s crucial to show the most up to date data, set a low reload duration.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:**
> 
> If your displays are on a mobile network, frequent page reloads can be costly. Reducing the Reload Duration can help save costs when your displays use a mobile connection.

**Timeout Duration**

Skykit will attempt to reach your dashboard within the designated time frame. If it's not successful, we'll move on after the duration has passed.
