# ⚙️ Basic Setup

To apply the Mushroom Strategy to a dashboard:

1. In the UI of the dashboard, select :material-pencil: in the top right corner.
2. If not taken to a Raw Configuration editor, click the three-dot menu in the top right corner.
3. Select `Raw configuration editor`.
4. Empty the configuration and add the following lines:

   ```yaml
   strategy:
     type: custom:mushroom-strategy
   ```

!!!warning

    You may see the following error:
    
    ```
     Error loading the dashboard strategy:
         Error: Timeout waiting for strategy
         element ||-strategy-mushroom-strategy to
         be registered
    ```

This is mainly because of cache issues or HACS didn't create a reference.  
Try clearing the cache of your client and/or re-downloading the strategy from HACS.
