How to render custom form in active admin dashboard - Rails?

Question

I want to render custom form in active admin dashboard page. Code looks like:

apps/views/admin/dashboard/_form.html.erb

<%= semantic_form_for :bill, builder: ActiveAdmin::FormBuilder,action:"new" do |f| %>
        <%= f.input :from_date%>
        <%= f.input :to_date%>
        <%= f.input :expiry_date%>
        <%=f.actions :submit %>
<%end%>

app/admin/dashboard.rb

ActiveAdmin.register_page "Dashboard" do

  menu priority: 1, label: proc{ I18n.t("active_admin.dashboard") }

  content title: proc{ I18n.t("active_admin.dashboard") } do

 columns do
   column do
     panel "Generate Bills" do
        render partial: 'form'
     end
   end
   column do
     panel "Pay Bills" do

     end
   end

 end
  end
end

I want new method of bill resource to be run on this form, because I want the active admin user to create bill objects from dashboard !

1. Create a form in in this location: app/views/admin/dashboard/_my_cool_form.html.erb
2. In your app/admin/dashboard.rb file: Call your form as. render partial: "my_cool_form

That's it.
