+# Build Using the XDS Dashboard
+
+One option for building your application using XDS is to use
+the XDS Dashboard.
+Building the application consists of using the dashboard
+to declare your project and then initiate the build.
+
+## Declare Project
+
+Follow these steps to declare the project:
+
+1. Open a Web Browser and connect to to the XDS Dashboard.
+
+   The URL you use depends of your configuration (e.g. `http://localhost:8800`).
+
+2. Open the right sidebar and select the `Projects` entry to open the
+   project page.
+   Once the page is open, declare a new project by clicking on the
+   "plus" icon next to "Add Project":
+
+   ![](./pictures/xds-dashboard-icon-2.png){:: style="margin:auto; display:flex"}
+
+   When you declare the project, XDS creates the `xds-project.conf`
+   configuration file if one does not already exist.
+   You should examine this configuration file before you build the
+   project to be sure all configurations are correct for your project.
+
+   The configuration file can be very useful when you plan to use
+   XDS client tools such as `xds-cli` or `xds-gdb`.
+
+   <!-- pagebreak -->
+
+3. Set `Sharing Type` appropriately depending on your Client Part
+   configuration:
+
+   ![](./pictures/xds-dashboard-prj-1.png){:: style="width:90%; max-width:560px; margin:auto; display:flex"}
+
+   <!-- section-note -->
+   **NOTES:**
+
+   - When `Path mapping` type is selected, you must clone your project into
+     `$HOME/xds-workspace` directory, which is named **Local Path** in the modal window.
+
+   - If XDS server is running in the XDS docker container
+     the **Server Path** must be set to `/home/devel/xds-workspace/<xxx>`
+     where `<xxx>` is your project directory name.
+     See the "[Installation based on Docker container](server-part.html#docker-container))"
+     section for more information.
+
+   - If you select `Cloud Sync`, you can clone your project wherever you want on
+     your local disk.
+   <!-- end-section-note -->
+
+## Build the Application
+
+Building the application requires opening the build page's "build entry" in the
+left navigational pane, selecting both the project and the SDK, and
+then initiating the build.
+
+<!-- section-note -->
+**NOTE:**
+
+To use the `helloworld-native-application` example, you need to provide
+some configuration items.
+Specifically, you must pass values for both the
+`RSYNC_TARGET` and `RSYNC_PREFIX` environment variables.
+To pass these variables, use the `Settings` window in the `Build` tab.
+You can use the `Env variables` field to pass a list of environment variables
+that are set on the server prior to the build occurring.
+You must separate individual variables using the semi-colon character:
+
+```
+RSYNC_TARGET=root@<mytarget>;RSYNC_PREFIX=/opt
+```
+
+When you pass these variables, substitute `<mytarget>` with the valid
+target IP address or DNS name entry.
+<!-- end-section-note -->
+
+Follow these steps to build the application:
+
+1. Open the build page build entry in the left-hand navigation pane:
+
+   ![](./pictures/xds-dashboard-icon-3.png){:: style="display:inline; padding:0;"},
+
+2. Select your **Project**.
+
+3. Seclect the **Cross SDK** you want to use.
+
+4. Click the **Clean / Pre-Build / Build / Populate** buttons to execute
+   the build action you want.
