  • The Chief Digital Officer (CDO) Dashboard provides a comprehensive, real-time view of digital experience, platform usage, operational performance, and transformation outcomes across the enterprise.

    Before you begin

    Role required: sn_cdo_dashboard.cdo_dashboard_admin, sn_cdo_dashboard.cdo_dashboard_user

    Note:
    The CDO Dashboard application is free from the ServiceNow Store. However, the contents of the dashboard require professional entitlements to the following applications: IT Service Management. This professional entitlement includes a license for Platform Analytics.

    These solutions consist of Platform Analytics indicators and associated data collection jobs, used by the metrics on the CDO Dashboard. If you don’t have the prerequisite licenses, the installation proceeds. However, without the required plugins (found in the application manager) and applications (found in the ServiceNow store) and the underlying data, the dashboard won’t show any relevant metrics. If you have any questions about your licensing and entitlements, consult your account executive.

    In addition, the com.snc.pa.premium.all_content application plugin is required from the professional license.
