Platform Analytics - tables available for Data Sources

[Community Alums]

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to change the tables that are available for Data Sources in Platform Analytics? For example, I would like to add a Data Visualization based on sys_import_set_run, but I can't find the table when I try to add a Data Source. Is there any property?

Best regards

There is a property (glide.ui.permitted_tables) that list the tables on which you can report. I guess it's also evaluated for Platform Analytics. You can add the table there to see it you can add it.

I'm not sure this is right. Perhaps that property is more about which sys_ tables are permitted. I have many tables available that are not in that list. I found this link while trying to figure out why a new custom table I added is not available. Looking at the list, it made no sense to add my u_ table to it.

How is this not correct? The question was why the sys_import_set table wasn't available to report on. The glide.ui.permitted_tables property is just for that: allow for system tables to be reported on.

This even was the correct solution to enable reporting on the sys_import_set table, so why are you saying this isn't the right answer?

Yeah, after rereading it I suppose I had my mind in my own question. The answer is correct for a sys table.
