Short answer

B Dependency Assessment

Question

Which feature can be used to view all Indicators used by a widget and all of the Tabs a widget appears on?
  1. Run Diagnostics
  2. Dependency Assessment Correct Answer
  3. Relationship Viewer
  4. Widget Indicators

Key Takeaways

The exam tests whether you know the specific Performance Analytics dependency-analysis feature, and the common trap is choosing Relationship Viewer because it sounds visual instead of selecting the documented Dependency Assessment feature.

In the ServiceNow Performance Analytics CAS-PA exam, Dependency Assessment is the feature that displays all Indicators used by a widget and every Tab where the widget appears. Official ServiceNow documentation and community comments confirm that Dependency Assessment is the correct answer over Relationship Viewer.

Common mistake: Choosing Relationship Viewer (C) is the most likely wrong answer because it appears to describe a tool for viewing connections, but Dependency Assessment is the Performance Analytics feature specifically designed to show widget-to-indicator and widget-to-tab dependencies.

Expert Analysis

Why the Answer Is Correct

Dependency Assessment is the ServiceNow Performance Analytics feature designed to evaluate the impact of a widget by listing the indicators it uses and every tab where it appears. Comments 1, 2, and 3 all reference the official ServiceNow impact-analysis documentation, and the exam community unanimously voted for option B. This aligns with the documented purpose of dependency assessment: uncovering hidden relationships before changing or removing widgets.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Run Diagnostics (A) troubleshoots performance and processing issues, not widget dependencies. Widget Indicators (D) is only a related-list view of indicators and does not show the widget's tabs. Relationship Viewer (C) may sound plausible as a visual dependency tool, but in the CAS-PA context it is not the documented feature for showing both indicators and tabs; one commenter suggests C, but the official docs and the majority point to B.

Community Comment Notes

The most useful comments link directly to the ServiceNow documentation for impact analysis, confirming that Dependency Assessment is the intended answer. Comment 2 is helpful because it explicitly explains that Dependency Assessment shows connections between widgets, indicators, and dashboard tabs. Comment 4 offers a contrary view, but without official documentation backing it; when preparing for the exam, trust the documented feature name over an option that sounds intuitively correct.

Exam Strategy

Look for keywords like 'Indicators used by a widget' and 'Tabs a widget appears on'—these map directly to Dependency Assessment in the ServiceNow performance-analytics documentation. Eliminate options that are generic-sounding such as Relationship Viewer, and choose the documented feature name used for impact and dependency analysis.
