## Access and Roles

* **Access:** Navigate to *All \> Incident \> Overview* or *All \> Self-Service \> Dashboard* and search for "Incident Overview dashboard."
* **Required Role:** IT Agents with the *itil* and *snincidentread* roles can open, view, update, track, and close incidents to manage customer issues.

## Key Features

The dashboard features several single-score metrics and visualizations that provide insight into incident status, including:

* Total incidents opened today
* Unassigned incidents
* Overdue incidents (exceeding SLA)
* Open incidents without resolution dates
* Incidents not updated for more than 7 days
* Open incidents older than 30 days
* Grouped visualizations by priority and state, including heatmaps and bar charts
* Incidents opened or closed per week (area chart)

Filters enable users to refine visualizations by priority, state, assignment group, category, and incident opened date, allowing focused analysis of incident data.

## Practical Application for ServiceNow Customers

This dashboard equips IT Agents with real-time incident data to prioritize workload, identify bottlenecks, and ensure timely resolution aligned with SLAs. The visualizations help quickly spot critical issues, aging incidents, and unassigned tickets to improve incident management efficiency. Customers should note the deprecation and plan to adopt the Incident Management dashboard for ongoing support and updates.  
Use this dashboard to view the status of the incidents for planning, prioritizing, and managing customer issues.  
Important:  
Starting in Xanadu release, the Incident Overview dashboard is deprecated. Users can use [Incident management dashboard](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/qoQh1W9UYpOG3ujByKfLew "Dashboard providing a view into process metrics related to Open and Closed incidents.") to view the status of the incidents for planning, prioritizing, and managing customer issues.
