Set up the SAM advisor dashboard by selecting the software products that define the SAM advisor scope.

The SAM scope defines which software products CMDB success advisor monitors for SAM data quality. The selected software products determine the scope of the SAM advisor dashboard, including the KPIs that are tracked.

## Roles required {#cmdb-sa-sam-get-started__section_roles_required}

Role required: sam_admin or sn_cmdb_admin

## Manual setup {#cmdb-sa-sam-get-started__section_manual_setup}

If auto-setup did not run or the eligibility conditions were not met, configure the dashboard manually by selecting software products on the CMDB success advisor landing page.

For instructions, see [Set up the SAM advisor dashboard manually](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/jxyj0CpnVRZIq2pLDGXJ4w "If the SAM advisor dashboard was not configured automatically, set it up manually by selecting the software products that define the SAM advisor scope.").
