Simple list componant no longer in Technical Editor platform analytics?

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?

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.

Does it take some time to adjust to work with filters. I made sure the saved visualization is checked to follow filters. I also added the an open cases - simple list script and added other the the handler events but still doesn't seem to be following either... Could I be missing something?

No, there isn’t any delay or “settling time.” If it’s not following filters right away, something isn’t lined up.

A couple of common things usually cause this. First, PA filters only work with PA visualizations. They don’t react to UI Builder handler events, client scripts, or Record List logic. So adding scripts or handlers won’t make a List-Simple respond to filters.

The most frequent issue is that the filter and the visualization aren’t based on the same indicator (or compatible indicators). Even if two indicators pull from the same table, PA treats them as separate. If your filter is built on one indicator and the List-Simple is using another, the list will ignore the filter.

Another common one is breakdown mismatch. If your filter is filtering by something like Assignment Group or Priority, that same breakdown must be available on the indicator used by the List-Simple. If the breakdown isn’t supported or applied there, the filter won’t affect it.

Also make sure you’re using a PA interactive filter the filter bar in the PA dashboard. UI Builder filters or client-state filters won’t drive PA visuals.

One quick sanity check: put the same saved List-Simple visualization on a regular PA dashboard and apply the same filter there. If it doesn’t work there either, it’s definitely an indicator or breakdown issue. If it does work there, then it’s how the technical dashboard is set up.

Basically: there’s no timing issue — PA filters work instantly when everything lines up. If they don’t, it’s almost always because the filter, indicator, or breakdown doesn’t match.
