Add a Group

I want to add an existing Group with reports to an existing dashboard- how to do?

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)

Open the Dashboard
- Go to Self-Service → Dashboards (or Dashboards).
- Open the dashboard where you want the reports.
Switch to Edit mode
- Click the Edit (pencil) icon on the dashboard.
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).
Place them on the dashboard
- Select the reports you want.
- Drag and drop them into the desired layout/section.
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.

Hi @IndranilG ,

Please follow the steps below to add group to an exhisting dashboard.

Step 1: Add the Reports to the Dashboard

Open your Dashboard: Navigate to Self-Service > Dashboards and select the dashboard you wish to edit.
Enter Edit Mode: Click the Edit (pencil icon) button in the upper right corner.
Select Reports: Click Add Widgets, then select the Reports category.
Find Your Reports: Use the search bar to find the specific reports that belong to your group. You can search by report name or look under the "Group" category if they are categorized that way.
Place on Dashboard: Drag and drop each report onto the dashboard canvas in your preferred layout.

Step 2: Share the Dashboard with the Group

To ensure members of your group can see these reports on the dashboard, you must grant them permission:

Open Sharing Settings: Click the Share icon (network/lock symbol) in the dashboard header.
Add Your Group: In the "To" field, type the name of the existing Group you want to give access to.
Set Permissions: Select Can read (for viewing only) or Can edit (if you want them to modify it).
Invite/Save: Click Invite or Save to apply the changes.
