# Dependency Assessment tree view

# Dependency Assessment tree view {#ariaid-title1}

The tree view enables admin users to see the relationships between PA
entities and to know the impact of changes made to any node in the tree view hierarchy.  
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.

The Dependency Assessment tree view consists of a variety of possible nodes and a legend. The
nodes represent Performance Analytics entities. Point to a node and the node's type is
highlighted in the legend. When you click on a node in the tree view, the child nodes open. If
there are more than eight nodes in a level of the tree view, then six are shown and a seventh
node indicates how many nodes are not shown. Click this node to view a list of the other
nodes.

The tree view header contains choice lists for changing the PA entity type and a value. The
tree view updates according to your choices.
Click the reset button (![]()) to return the tree view to the starting point with just the first level parent and its immediate child nodes.{#dependency-assessment-treeview__ph_p5n_qy2_xdb}

Each node has a context menu (![Admin console tree view context menu button]()) where you can choose from a number of actions. Choose Show Used By to change the tree view to show where a node is used in your instance. See [Bottom-up tree view](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/jBUtmUjfNckMX~ebMwFEsA "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.") for more information.

The figure below gives an example of the top-down tree view, starting from a dashboard at the
top level, its tabs on the second level, the widgets of one of the dashboard tabs on the third
level, and so on. The tree view in the example shows all breakdowns and supporting indicators as
they are defined in the Breakdown form.

You can apply a breakdown on the Analytics Hub, in KPI Details, and on dashboards.")
