Dashboard Not Found – Admin Also Unable to Access

Hi Community,

I'm encountering an issue where a Performance Analytics dashboard is not loading. I receive the message "Can't display this dashboard – The dashboard that you are looking for was not found" (screenshot attached).

Even when logged in as an admin, the dashboard is not visible. I’ve verified that the dashboard previously existed and was accessible.

Has anyone faced a similar issue? Could this be related to permissions, deletion, or data corruption?

Any guidance on how to troubleshoot or restore the dashboard would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

@Satyam123  I have seem something like this after a Yokohama upgrade. This was due to a compatibility issue. It is a good practice to keep the Applications and Plugins up-to-date after a Version upgrade for the best features and resolving compatibility issues. I am not sure of your scenario (if you recently upgraded), but something to look at. Once the app plugins were updated the issue was addressed.

Hi Satyam,

Thanks for reaching out to the community.

I've seen this issue before, and it could be caused by a few different factors:

  1. Dashboard Deletion: Double-check if the dashboard might have been accidentally deleted. You can look for it in the pa_dashboards table (navigate to sys_db_object.list?sysparm_query=name=pa_dashboards).

  2. Permissions: Even if you’re an admin, make sure that the roles required to view the dashboard are still assigned to your user. Also, check the “Restrict to roles” and “Groups” fields on the dashboard record.

  3. Data Corruption or Misconfiguration: Sometimes, an invalid widget or a broken reference can prevent a dashboard from loading. Check the widgets associated with the dashboard in pa_dashboards and see if they are all valid.

  4. Module Configuration: If the dashboard is accessed via a module, ensure the module is pointing to the correct dashboard sys_id.

To troubleshoot:

  • Query the pa_dashboards table directly to verify its existence.

  • Check the syslog and browser console for any error messages.

  • Test with another admin account or in an incognito window to rule out cache/session issues.

If the dashboard was deleted and you don’t have a backup, consider restoring it from a clone or using the instance’s Recovery options if available.

Let me know if you'd like help running specific queries or debugging further!

Hello Satyam,

 

most likely the dashboard is not visible in the experience in which you tried to display it.

Even if you are an admin, the experience can not access the dashboard.

 

Please check the field in the screenshot.

By saving you create par_dashboard_visibility records for the respective experiences.

Any chance this dashboard was moved from one environment to another (e.g. DEV to TEST)? If so, it's possible that it wasn't migrated correctly.
