Copying the Dashboard files to FRC Dashboard works, you also have the options of changing the build destination to FRC Dashboard so it always gets put there when you build, or changing the Driver Station .ini file to point to your dashboard location.

Here is an example of some quick Dashboard diagnostics looked at from both the robot and the PC side of things. This is slapped together, so take it as development code. The elements are in the order they were added to the cluster on the robot side. I recreate an indicator "358 Custom data" whenever I add or remove elements, then copy that to the Dashboard side to define the order/types of elements in the cluster.
In the final robot I'd create a TypeDef to define each data element. That gives everything a name making it easier to digest and clearer to work with.
