    Before you begin

    Important:

    Conversational Analytics dashboard is being prepared for future deprecation. It will be supported until deprecation but will no longer be available for installation. A new Conversational Analytics dashboard in Platform Analytics experience, which meets the compliance requirements of Government Community Cloud (GCC), and thus FedRAMP authorized, is available. See Conversational Analytics dashboard in Platform Analytics experience.

    For details on the deprecation process, see the Deprecation Process [KB0867184] article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.

    If you are an existing user of this dashboard and want to migrate analytics data to the new dashboard, see Migrate data to Conversational Analytics dashboard in Platform Analytics experience [KB1651556].

    Note:
    Starting with the San Diego release, the Conversational Analytics app is automatically installed when you initially activate the Glide Virtual Agent (com.glide.cs.chatbot) plugin. Subsequent updates for this app must be downloaded and installed from the ServiceNow Store.

    Conversational Analytics dashboard is not available for on-premise installation.

    Using the Conversational Analytics dashboard may incur Integration Hub transaction costs. This transaction metering was unintended and will be removed in an upcoming release. If the issue persists, please create a case for our Customer Service and Support team.
