Really quick answer: there's no interaction between Dashboard and Site.pp that I'm aware of. Think of the Dashboard as a place to visually display puppet reports.
This is functionality where you can define things in the Dashboard and use that as an ENC in your puppet manifests. So Site.pp could learn from Dashboard, but there's no way for Site.pp to inform the Dashboard. If you really want it to show up there, then you need to define it all in the Dashboard and then reconfigure Puppet to use the Dashboard as an ENC. Google: "puppet dashboard ENC" Post-Note: keep in mind that PuppetLabs has deprecated the Dashboard and won't be doing any future development, so this may not be a good investment of your time.
