Bottom-up tree view

You can see where any element in the tree view is used. This is useful when you want to change an element such as an indicator or breakdown and see the effect of your change on other PA elements.

Before you begin

Role required: admin

Important: Dependency Assessment does not support Platform Analytics artifacts. It analyzes information only for Core UI Performance Analytics widgets but not Platform Analytics data visualizations. Also, you can launch Dependency Assessment from a Core UI responsive dashboard but not from a Platform Analytics dashboard.

Procedure

  1. Launch Dependency Assessment on the Performance Analytics entity you want to investigate.

    1. Navigate to Performance Analytics > Dashboards.

    2. Select the dashboard you want to investigate or the dashboard that uses the entity you want to investigate.

      In this example, we start with the Usage by Requestor dashboard.

    3. From the context menu (
