# Launch Dependency Assessment

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.

## Before you begin

Role required: pa\_admin.

**Important:** Dependency Assessment is not available on net new instances. It does not support Platform Analytics artifacts or Data snapshots indicators. You can run it on any classic Performance Analytics artifact, like an indicator or a breakdown. You can also run it from a Core UI PA Widget or responsive dashboard. However, you cannot run it from a data visualization or a Platform Analytics dashboard.

## About this task

The Dependency Assessment tree view opens in the same browser window from which you launched it. Edit windows open in pop-ups so that you do not have to navigate between browser windows or lose context.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Platform Analytics Administration** and then to any non-Data snapshots indicator, breakdown, or indicator/breakdown source.

2.  Scroll down to the Related Links and select **Launch Dependency Assessment**.
