For example, in this URL, the sys_id is 456CBA: https://my-instance.service-now.com/now/platform-analytics-workspace/dashboards/params/edit/false/sys-id/456CBA. Paste the sys_id into a text file so that you can copy it into the system preference you create.

    4. In the User field, specify one user this dashboard will be the home for.
    5. Set the Type to string.
    6. In the Value field, enter the following: $pa_dashboard.do?sysparm_dashboard=dashboard_sys_id, but replace dashboard_sys_id with the sys_id you copied before you began.
    7. Select Submit.
    8. Wahlweise: Select the context menu (Context menu icon) and choose Insert and Stay.
