Data Visualization designer query - Australia version

when i select 'Create New Visualization', the visualization type is set as 'Single Score' by default and i get the message "Unable to display content"(as shown in screenshot). This message disappears only when either the data source or visualization type is updated. 
Is this an expected behavior?

Hi  @Sneha5 ,

This is the default behaviour, when you create a new visualisation, the default option is "Single Score". But no data is configured yet. Any visualisation type would need data source (table, filter, pa indicator etc.) to compute the metric value. Until you provide the data source or metric the component has nothing to render, so the message.

Hi @Sneha5 ,

 

Yes ,this is OOB behavior. 

This is the default screen where 3 options are available -

Refer servicenow documentation: Overview of data visualization types 

 

If you select single score , you will get that message as no data is configured at this point.

Hi @Sneha5 

That is expected behavior. Since it’s the first time the data visualization is loading, it initially shows a single score along with the error UI indicating there is no data source. There’s nothing to worry about — it can be used as is.
