It consolidates both Core UI reports and Platform Analytics visualizations, allowing users to access and manage visual insights efficiently. Show full answer Show less To access the library, navigate to **All \> Platform Analytics \> Library \> Data Visualizations**. The interface includes a navigation pane for seamless switching between different libraries and the Usage Insights page without disrupting workflow. ## Access and Roles Access to features within the Data Visualizations library depends on user roles. The minimum role to access visualizations is **vizadmin** , while creation requires at least **vizcreator** . Higher roles such as **reportadmin** , **paadmin** , **platformanalyticsadmin** , and **admin** provide broader capabilities. Users with **vizadmin** or higher see additional administrative options like deleting, activating/deactivating, and filtering visualizations more granularly. Users with any role can search, filter, and view visualizations but have limited modification capabilities. ## Key Features of the Data Visualizations Library * **Create data visualizations:** Available for users with **vizcreator** or higher, enabling the creation of new visual insights. * **Filtering options:** Filter visualizations by bookmarks, certification status, ownership, and shared access to quickly locate relevant data. * **Single scores:** For **vizadmin** or higher, visualize key statistics such as unused or outdated visualizations, facilitating proactive management. * **Search and condition builder:** Search by name or description and build complex filter conditions to refine the list of visualizations. * **Personalization:** Customize the visualization list by adding or removing columns to tailor the view to your needs. * **Bulk actions:** Select multiple visualizations to delete, activate, or deactivate them efficiently. * **Column filtering and sorting:** Filter by specific column values or dates and sort columns alphabetically or chronologically to streamline data navigation. ## Data Visualization Library Filtering The library includes an advanced filter accessible via a funnel icon that opens a condition builder for precise filtering. Users can: * Show or hide labels for fields and operators in the filter condition builder. * Save filter conditions with configurable visibility based on roles. * Build complex queries, including reference field dot-walking, to narrow down visualizations effectively. ## Practical Benefits for ServiceNow Customers This library centralizes access to all data visualizations, enhancing collaboration by enabling sharing and certification of key visualizations. Role-based controls ensure appropriate governance and security. The filtering and bulk management features help maintain a clean, relevant visualization environment, promoting efficient data-driven decision-making. Find any data visualization in the Platform Analytics Data Visualizations library. You can share information about your data with stakeholders and other users to evaluate the trends with real-time data. With the appropriate role, you can also create a visualization. ## Data Visualizations Library overview {#explore-data-vis-library__section_kx4_xgd_pcc} On Australia instances, you can find both Core UI reports and Platform Analytics experience data visualizations in the Data Visualizations library. When you edit Core UI dashboards and their content, you do so in the Core UI tools including Report Designer. For more information, see [Reporting, dashboards, and Performance Analytics in the Core UI](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/w3YKi_DAn~rq8mcvNJxgJA "Present analytics on Core UI dashboards through reports and Performance Analytics widgets. Explore Performance Analytics indicators on the Analytics Hub.") and [Using Core UI reporting](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/ufjpngYmqJYS7rSY5Hn~Zg "ServiceNow reports are visualizations of your data that you can share with users on dashboards and service portals, export to PDF, and email. Learn how to create, run, edit, view, and share reports."). To open the data visualizations library, navigate to AllPlatform AnalyticsLibraryData Visualizations. You can also navigate to this library from other Platform Analytics library pages. Library pages like this one include a navigation pane that provides access to the other libraries and the Usage Insights page. Use it to navigate between the libraries without interrupting your workflow. ## Data Visualizations library elements {#explore-data-vis-library__section_mjx_ryt_bgc} Access to certain elements in the Data Visualizations library is based on whether the user is associated with specific admin roles. For Data Visualizations, the analytics admin roles include report_admin, pa_admin, platform_analytics_admin, and admin. The lowest required role is viz_admin. For users with the lowest role, the application navigator provides a direct access only to the [Dashboards](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/xtCSHjWiFQlPCaMA7V4dGA "Use Platform Analytics dashboards to access, organize, and share data in a visual format. Dashboards contain data visualizations, filters, and other visual elements."), [Data Visualizations](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Bv5mO4CZ_R04AKWknJd~aQ "Find any data visualization in the Platform Analytics Data Visualizations library. You can share information about your data with stakeholders and other users to evaluate the trends with real-time data. With the appropriate role, you can also create a visualization."), and [Indicators](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/6~a6b5w1NV5Dvi2mjUUNrQ "The indicator library lists all the Performance Analytics indicators or KPIs to which you have access. Users who can create or edit indicators or Performance Analytics collection jobs have additional information.") from the Platform Analytics library. For more information on user roles in Data Visualizations, see [Data visualization roles](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/38E8blwLmOcpiEoM0ZGxuQ#platform-analytics-roles__table_c3f_kwc_k2c). The following image shows the Data Visualizations library elements that are accessible for users with the viz_admin role or higher. (The Create data visualization button requires only viz_creator or higher.) Figure 1. Platform Analytics Data Visualizations library features for users with analytics admin roles The following example shows the Data Visualizations library elements that are accessible for users with any role. Figure 2. Platform Analytics Data Visualizations library features for users with any role The following table lists the Data Visualizations library elements. Refer to the numbered call-outs in the image and their descriptions in the table. {#explore-data-vis-library__table_c2j_gs3_vfc__entry__4} | Number | Field (or) Element name | Accessible to users with roles | Description | |:-|:-|:-|:-| | 1 | Create data visualization | viz_creator or higher | Option to create data visualizations. | | 2 | Filter by | Any | Option for filtering the data visualizations list to display the data based on the following predefined conditions: * Bookmarked: Your bookmarked visualizations.
