This Platform Analytics Solution contains preconfigured dashboards. These dashboards contain actionable data visualizations that help you improve your business processes and practices.

## Enabling the Performance Analytics Solution

Use the Performance Analytics widgets on the dashboard to visualize data over time, analyze your business processes, and identify areas of improvement. With solutions, you can get value from Performance Analytics for your application with minimal setup.  
Note:  
Solutions include some dashboards that are inactive by default. You can activate these dashboards to make them visible to end users according to your business needs.

For unlimited access to all features of this Platform Analytics Solution, purchase a Performance Analytics subscription. For more information, see [Activating your Performance Analytics subscription](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_PremiumPerformanceAnalytics&version=australia&pubname=australia-now-intelligence&ft:locale=en-US).

To use this Analytics and Reporting Solution, you must be entitled to use Performance Analytics
with Hardware Asset Management . For more information about entitlements to Performance Analytics, see [Activating your Performance Analytics subscription](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_PremiumPerformanceAnalytics&version=australia&pubname=australia-now-intelligence&ft:locale=en-US)

This
Out-of-the-box Performance Analytics Solution is available from the ServiceNow Store. To enable this solution, an
admin navigates to System ApplicationsSearch ServiceNow Store. When the landing page for the ServiceNow Store opens, search for Hardware Asset Management . When you have found the Solution, follow the
instructions in the Store. The ServiceNow Store
has its own documentation.

## Domain separation and 'Run As' user {#hardware-asset-content-pack__section_mrw_rgg_zgb}

In some solutions, System Administrator is the Run As user for data
collection jobs in the Platform Analytics Solutions. In other solutions, the
Run As user for data collection jobs is left blank. Verify that the
Run As user exists on the instance, and that this user has the
appropriate level of access. An inappropriate Run As user can cause
errors or limit the data that is collected. This setting only has an effect if domain
separation is enabled.{#hardware-asset-content-pack__p_ix2_nfg_h1c}

## Performance Analytics dashboards for Hardware Asset Management {#hardware-asset-content-pack__section_fs2_ygr_bcc}

Important:  
You can access the Core UI Performance Analytics dashboards only if you have upgraded from prior releases to Xanadu. Beginning with the Xanadu release, the Core UI Performance Analytics dashboards aren't available to new users of Hardware Asset Management.  
The Performance Analytics dashboards available for Hardware Asset Management are the following:

* Hardware Asset Dashboard
* Hardware Normalization Dashboard
* My Assets
* Procurement Overview
* Asset Contract Overview
* Asset Overview
{#hardware-asset-content-pack__ul_exk_dhr_bcc}  
Beginning with the Xanadu release, note the following points about the Core UI Performance Analytics dashboards:

* The Procurement Overview and Asset Contract overview module links are redirected to [Hardware Asset Workspace](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/boNdYg34a2oajEtQt_~jqA "The Hardware Asset Workspace is the intuitive and streamlined user interface of the Hardware Asset Management application to manage your hardware assets.").
* The following Next Experience Platform Analytics dashboard versions of the Asset Overview and My Assets Core UI Performance Analytics dashboards are available:
  * Analytics Overview: You can access this dashboard by navigating to AssetAnalytics Overview.
  * My Assets Analytics: You can access this dashboard by navigating to Self-ServiceMy Assets Analytics.
  {#hardware-asset-content-pack__hardware-asset-management-rn_ul_g5n_2ht_3bc}

{#hardware-asset-content-pack__ul_brs_mqr_bcc}  
Note:  
After upgrading to Xanadu, you can view both the Core UI Performance Analytics dashboards and the Next Experience Platform Analytics dashboards for Hardware Asset Management. While migrating the Core UI Performance Analytics dashboards to the Next Experience Platform Analytics dashboards, auto-migration is disabled by default to avoid duplicate dashboards.
