Role required: pa_power_user, pa_admin, or admin. In addition to the Performance Analytics roles, you must be able to create records on the UI Actions [sys_ui_action] table.

Before adding in-form analytics for a specific table and breakdown, create a breakdown dashboard that uses that table and the breakdown source of that breakdown. Design the dashboard so that it prominently displays the most useful information to the users who create records on that table. For more information about breakdown dashboards, see Using breakdowns on dashboards.

Performance Analytics must be active to create in-form analytics.

Incident Assignment Group in-form analytics

Consider the case where you want support engineers who create incidents to be able to see the expected time to close the incident based on the assignment group. You have designed a widget that shows the expected time to close an incident. You have added this widget to the In-form Analytics breakdown dashboard, which uses the Groups breakdown source. 'Groups' is the source for the Assignment Group breakdown.

Now you create in-form analytics for the Incident [incident] table, the Assignment Group breakdown, and the In-form Analytics - Incidents dashboard. You select the icon for the UI Action. This icon will appear next to the Assignment Group field. You also decide to create a Related Link to the dashboard.

그림 2. Creating in-form analytics

Clicking the dial icon opens the pop-up view of the dashboard. Note that instead of the dashboard name, the pop-up window is titled "Analysis of [Breakdown name]".

The Self-Service view does not show the Assignment Group field by default. In this case, you can still view the analytics from the Related Links.
