The dashboard inspector identifies different types of bottlenecks, such as slow queries and networks, and provides recommendations to improve performance. Because dashboard layouts can contain different widgets (and queries), run the inspector on each layout. If a dashboard contains multiple pages, you can run the inspector for all pages.

The dashboard inspector identifies different types of bottlenecks, such as slow queries and networks, and provides recommendations to improve performance. Because dashboard layouts can contain different widgets (and queries), run the inspector on each layout. If a dashboard contains multiple pages, you can run the inspector for all pages. The inspector initially provides results only for the current page. 1. While browsing the app, open a dashboard in view mode. The dashboard inspector is not available while running the app, editing the dashboard, or previewing an embedded dashboard outside of CRM Analytics. 2. To open the dashboard inspector, click ![More button](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_dashboards_more_icon.png) and then **Dashboard Inspector**. The dashboard inspector immediately collects performance metrics. 3. The Performance tab shows all factors by which the dashboard is evaluated. ![The dashboard performance results show the initial load time, number of queries, and performance factors.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_dashboards_inspector_dashboard_performance_results.png) ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/images/icon_note.png) Note If your dashboard contains multiple pages, the dashboard inspector shows results for the current page being viewed. 4. If a warning icon (![Warning icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_dashboards_inspector_warning_icon.png)) appears next to a factor, expand the factor to learn how to fix the issue to improve the dashboard’s performance. Ignore the factors with a green checkmark (![Green checkmark](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_dashboards_inspector_green_checkmark.png)) because these issues don’t apply to the dashboard. 5. To analyze the performance of all queries in the dashboard, go to the Query table in the tab. The table lists all queries that ran when the dashboard loaded. If the dashboard contains multiple pages, the table lists the queries that ran for the current page. Each time you switch pages, newly run queries are added to the table, and previously run queries, which are no longer used, are listed as unused. ![The query table shows run-time details about each query.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_dashboards_inspector_steps_tab.png) The table shows the following metrics for each query. | Metric | Description | | --- | --- | | Max Time (SEC) | Maximum execution time for each query on the current dashboard page. | 6. Select a query in the table to view additional details about the query and the last run. ![Query details in the dashboard inspector.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_dashboards_inspector_query_metrics.png) For more information about query performance, see [Optimize a Query](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_dashboard_step_optimize.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Queries can slow down your dashboard. Run a performance check on the queries to ensure that they’re running optimally. CRM Analytics identifies query bottlenecks and provides recommendations to improve query performance."). ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/images/icon_note.png) Note When a query has errors and fails to execute, open the Dashboard Inspector and select the query with errors. Use the View More Details button for more information about bindings syntax errors, query level errors, and the query that was run. #### See Also - [Best Practices for CRM Analytics Dashboard Performance](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_dashboard_performance.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Design dashboards that load quickly.
