Hi all,
I’m building a Platform Analytics dashboard using a List/Table visualization on sc_req_item. I’m trying to display Catalog Item variables as columns in the list, ideally by variable name (for example: variables dot region) so it’s readable and maintainable.
I found a Semaphore Partners workaround post about adding variables into list reports on Platform Analytics dashboards. It works, but it feels heavier than it should be, and tying columns to variable sys_id values is not ideal.
Questions:
Is there an official or simpler way to add Catalog Item variables to Platform Analytics list/table columns without custom scripting or heavy workarounds?
Does Platform Analytics support selecting variables by variable name (variables dot name), or only by internal IDs?
If this is not supported natively, what is the cleanest pattern people use today (database view, scripted fields, reporting table, etc.)?
Context:
Table: sc_req_item
Want columns like: number, requested_for, plus one or more catalog variables
Visualization: Platform Analytics list/table component on a dashboard
If anyone has a simpler approach or an example configuration, I’d appreciate it. Thanks.
