How to: Navigate to Reports > Create New (Within your PDI)?

[EricKPMG]

I have just completed the course: ServiceNow Administration Fundamentals, and at the end it mentions that you should request and maintain your own PDI. I have a PDI now but the instance is missing a critical application that I had available in the filter search of the student instance. 

The entire "Reports" application. (Reports > View / Run). Reports > Create New. etc. 

Below is a screenshot of my PDI, searching for "/ r" as the shortcut to Reports. (I have tried all other searches as well)

What I am expecting to find is the below screenshot: 

This is the student instance that has the Reports application set up. 

My question is how do I replicate this in the PDI? Is it missing a plugin I need to install? Or is the Report application something that comes pre-loaded in student instance but needs to be built in the PDI? 

Appreciate any insight if anybody else has come across this!

Hi @EricKPMG 

The steps you're referring to are applicable to older versions or those earlier than Xanadu. In the Xanadu version, these steps are no longer valid since reports have been moved under Platform Analytics.

If you still wish to access reports the old way:

1. Navigate to the Application Navigator.
2. Use sys_report.LIST.

or 

under visualization

Hi @EricKPMG ,

It's great that you've completed the ServiceNow Administration Fundamentals course and are actively exploring your Personal Developer Instance (PDI). Following the steps provided by @Dr Atul G- LNG ,  this behavior is expected in the Xanadu version of ServiceNow. In this version, reporting functionality has been reorganized and moved under Platform Analytics, which changes how reports are accessed.

I hope this helps clarify the changes and provides the information you need to work with reports in your PDI.
