Simple list componant no longer in Technical Editor platform analytics?

[Brian Fornelius]

I'm trying to add a list view and can no longer see the simple list component in technical Editor (UI Builder) version of Platform Analytics.  What if any component replaced this?

Hi Buddy,

You’re not missing anything — this is an expected change.

In UI Builder (Technical Editor), the old Simple List component is no longer available. It hasn’t been renamed or moved; it was effectively retired as part of the move away from legacy dashboard components.

What replaces it depends on what you were using Simple List for:

• If you just need to show a list of records, use Data Table or List (Configurable). These are the modern UI Builder equivalents and are driven by data resources.

• If you were using Simple List with Platform Analytics, use the PA Data Table component instead. It’s designed to work with indicators and breakdowns and covers the same use cases.

The reason for the change is that Simple List was tied to older dashboard technology and doesn’t fit the reactive, data-driven model UI Builder uses now.

So the short answer is:

• Simple List hasn’t been replaced one-for-one

• Data Table / List (Configurable) are the general replacements

• PA Data Table is the replacement for PA-related list use cases

Hi agian.. thanks for the information.  I was li,e I knew it was there before.  Yes.  I have a technical Editor dashboard that I am builing out in Advanced dashboard etc..  when you sat data table / List or PA data table is that a componant?  I looked and cannot see either or those.  I see a record list but cannot figure out how to get that to work with filters as it has all of it's own bundled features so looking for something more simple like that in In line Editor.  If there is a Data table list how d I get it it?

thanks,

 What changed is that in Advanced / Technical dashboards (UI Builder) there is no longer a standalone “Simple List” or “Data Table” component like you had in the inline editor. That functionality didn’t disappear, it was just moved.

What you’re remembering as Simple List now exists as a Platform Analytics saved visualization, not a UI Builder component. That’s why you can’t find it in the component picker.

To get the same behavior, you need to create a PA List – Simple visualization. Go to Platform Analytics → Library → Data Visualizations, create a new visualization, choose List – Simple, configure it with your indicator and breakdown, then save it. After that, open your dashboard in the Technical Editor, add a new element, choose Saved data visualization, and select the List – Simple you created. This will behave like the old simple list and automatically respect dashboard filters.

The Record List component you’re seeing is different. It’s designed for raw table data and comes with its own built-in list controls, which is why it feels heavy and doesn’t naturally follow PA filters unless you wire it manually with client state. There isn’t a lighter “data table” component you’re missing in this editor.

So the short version is: Simple List is no longer a UI Builder component, it’s now a saved PA visualization, and that’s the correct and supported way to get the same simple, filter-aware list behavior in Technical dashboards.
