    • When you select a Usage Insights data source for a single score visualization, the following Data configuration options are available.

    Note:
    If you add a Platform Analytics data visualization with Usage Insights (UXA) data to an inline dashboard, the default drilldown for that data visualization is to open the corresponding UXA analytics page.
