    • Get a summary of all widgets that appear on Service Portal pages. Use this data to better understand widget customizations and page usage.

    The Portal Analyzer is a scheduled job that runs on-demand. After you select to run the Portal Analyzer job, the system produces a list of each widget and the page that it appears on.

    The list also includes the following information:
    • Level of customization of each widget
    • Number of views on each page
    • Number of user visits on each page

    You can export the list as a CSV, Excel, XML, JSON, or PDF file. Use the exported list to consider which pages and widgets to focus on while redesigning your portal. For example, you might consider removing a page that has less user visits or replacing a customized widget with a cloned widget.

    The Portal Analyzer is active by default on your instance.
