Hi @IndranilG,

Unfortunately just saying "an existing dashboard" isn’t quite enough to help you  Every and each dashboard is unique and this description is like saying "my car is broken" but we never seen your car and don't know broken how...


If you can share a bit more context that would be perfect.

 

The better the question, the better the answer

@IndranilG - In ServiceNow, dashboards don’t inherit content from groups. You add reports individually and then control who can see them.

 

However to add existing reports to an existing dashboard:

  1. Open the Dashboard.

  2. Click the Edit button.

  3. Select Add Widget  then Reports.

  4. Choose the existing report(s) you want and place them on the dashboard.

Then basically save the dashboard.

If you already have a group of reports and want to add them to an existing dashboard in ServiceNow, you don’t need to recreate anything. You can reuse what’s already built.

How to do it (simple steps)

  1. Open the Dashboard

    • Go to Self-Service → Dashboards (or Dashboards).

    • Open the dashboard where you want the reports.

  2. Switch to Edit mode

    • Click the Edit (pencil) icon on the dashboard.

  3. Add existing reports

    • Click Add Widgets.

    • Choose Reports.

    • Use the search to find your reports (they can belong to the same report category or group).

  4. Place them on the dashboard

    • Select the reports you want.

    • Drag and drop them into the desired layout/section.

  5. Save the dashboard

    • Click Save once you’re done arranging.

In short,

You don’t add a group to a dashboard — you add the existing reports from that group, reuse them as widgets, and arrange them however you want.

 

I have also attached one example with you to clarify your doubt.
