# Run Flow From Tiles

## Overview

[**Tiles**](https://documentation.decisions.com/v9/docs/about-tiles) provide the functionality of **D****esigner** **Elements** within a **Page/****Dashboard.** This includes the ability to launch a **Flow** when a user clicks a [**Simple** **Tile**](https://documentation.decisions.com/v9/docs/about-tiles#simple-tiles) on a **Page**. The following document demonstrates how to launch a basic **Flow** from within a [Page/Dashboard](https://documentation.decisions.com/v9/docs/create-pages-dashboards). Example Labs can offer additional examples, such as configuring a simple tile to display a count of Folders created within a date range.
