How can I identify which data visualizations are used by each dashboard/tab in Platform Analytics?

[M_51]

Hello!

I’m trying to determine which data visualizations are used on each dashboard and which tab they are located in by looking at ServiceNow tables, but I’m not seeing this information clearly.

Specifically:

• I expected to find relationships between dashboards, tabs, and data visualizations in tables like the following (https://www.servicenow.com/docs/r/fr-FR/now-intelligence/platform-analytics-tables.html😞
  • par_dashboard
  • par_visualization
  • par_dashboard_widget
  • par_dashboard_tab
• However, I’m not able to easily identify how to find the information in these tables.

Question:
Is there a reliable way (via tables, reports, or configuration) to determine which data visualizations are used by each dashboard/tab in Platform Analytics?

Thanks!

Hi @M_51,

Yes. In Platform Analytics, the relationship is typically:

Dashboard (par_dashboard)
   ↓
Dashboard Tab (par_dashboard_tab)
   ↓
Dashboard Widget (par_dashboard_widget)
   ↓
Visualization (par_visualization)

The key table to investigate is par_dashboard_widget, as it links dashboard tabs to the visualizations/widgets displayed on them.

You can query:

par_dashboard_widget

and review fields such as:

dashboard
tab
visualization

to determine:

• Which visualization is used
• Which dashboard it belongs to
• Which tab it is displayed on

You can then join/reference:

• par_dashboard → Dashboard name
• par_dashboard_tab → Tab name
• par_visualization → Visualization details

Thanks for the information.

From what I see, it appears that par_dashboard_tab is the only table that explicitly captures the relationship between dashboards and their associated tabs.

I’m not seeing a similar relationship in par_dashboard_widget —it doesn’t appear to directly reference either the dashboard or the tab.

The same seems to be true for par_visualization, where I can’t see a connection back to dashboards or tabs.

Is it possible this behavior is different in the Zurich release, or am I perhaps missing an intermediary relationship/table that ties visualizations back to the tab or dashboard?

@M_51 

it's somewhat complicated

I doubt you can get an easy picture of this.
