Data visualizations in Platform Analytics

Data Visualizations use graphics to show table, indicator, and other data. They combine and extend the functions of reports and Performance Analytics widgets from the Core UI .

Important: You cannot place reports or Performance Analytics widgets on a Platform Analytics dashboard. You must create data visualizations instead.

To access data visualizations, navigate to All > Platform Analytics > Library > Data Visualizations . Owners of a data visualization can access and share that visualization. Users whom the owner has shared a visualization with can access that visualization. Any user with access to data can create a data visualization based on that data.
