Add an Analytics Center and its related pages to your own workspace through page templates.

Before you begin

Role required: ui_builder_admin

About this task

In workspaces, the Analytics Center provides a central page with tabs for all the other pages related to Platform Analytics. You do not have to add an Analytics Center, but this procedure uses that page as example. The same procedure applies to adding the other Platform Analytics pages from templates. Details about those pages are provided at the end of this topic.

Procedure

  1. Open your configurable workspace in the UI Builder.
  2. Select the plus sign next to Pages and variants and select Create a new page.
    The expanded Menu menu with the Create new page choice highlighted.
  3. On the Select a Page Template dialog, expand View legacy templates.
  4. Hold your cursor over the Analytics Center template and select Use template.

    The Analytics Center template selected.

  5. Specify a name and a path for the page.
  6. Select Use the original page (customization limited).
    Warning: The Copy contents of the page option does not give you a fully functional Analytics Center. For events to dispatch correctly, you must have the client scripts that are included only when you use the original page.
  7. Click Create.
    You return to the list of pages for your workspace, which now includes the new Analytics Center.
  8. In the entry for the Analytics Center page (not a variant of the page), open Settings.
    The General settings dialog opens.
  9. Under Page parameters, add the following optional parameters:
    • tab
    • filter

    These parameters ensure that on page refresh, the last open tab of the Analytics Center opens. Also, the last selected filter (such as Bookmarked) is enabled.

Result

You now have a page with a fully configured Analytics Center, including all components. However, none of the links to other pages work until those pages are added and configured.

What to do next

Create pages using the following templates. Follow the same process you used to create the Analytics Center page, including using the original page instead of copying the content. Give the pages the following paths and parameters:

Note:
  • KPI Details, Simple List, and Dashboard overview are legacy page templates, like Analytics Center. You must specify the parameters manually for these pages. Newer page templates give you the parameters in the course of page creation.
  • Platform Analytics is modular. You can create only some of the pages and get their standalone functions. For example, if you only want dashboard support or KPI Details, create the pages with that functionality and don't create an Analytics Center.
Template nameFunctionRequired parametersOptional parametersPath

KPI Details

 Displays the details of a single indicator uuid scoreDate, breakdowns, domain, aggregate ac_kpi_details
Simple List Displays a list of table records table listTitle, query, disableInlineEditing, listView simplelist
Standard record Displays the details of a table record table, sysId query, extraParams, views, selectedTabIndex record
Dashboard overview Displays all dashboard tiles none none all-dashboards
Dashboards Used to create, edit, and show dashboards along with data visualizations inside those dashboards. This page template is the minimum requirement for dashboard support. none edit, sysId, tabSysId, filter, element dashboards
Visualization designer Used to create and edit data visualizations independently of dashboards, without using the Dashboards editor. sysid none visualization-designer
Important: You must use these paths, which are the same paths of the pages in the Platform Analytics experience. The preconfigured event handlers on the pages use these paths. If you do not give your pages these paths, the event handlers will not work.
