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](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/t3tacnUNqN49O3eCvr8XGg "Use the Dependency Assessment tree view to view and edit Performance Analytics components including widgets, indicators, and breakdowns, from a single view. You can see the effects of your changes immediately.") on the Performance Analytics entity you want to investigate.
   1. Navigate to Performance AnalyticsDashboards.
   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 (![]()), select Launch Dependency Assessment.

2. Expand the tree view to locate the entity you want to investigate.
3. Click the context menu (![]()) of the entity and select Show Used By.
4. The top-down tree view is replaced with a view which shows all of the entities which use the selected entity.  
   In this case, the API Transactions Requestor Stats table is used by one breakdown source, three reports, and two interactive filters:
5. Click the reset button (![]()) to return the tree view to the base selection as shown in the header.
