Check the high-level profile of your org by looking at our most important KPIs.  

Ways to use this view

• If you're an executive, platform owner or an architect, here you can understand the overall state of the org, with macro KPIs. 

What data is shown

The Profiling view shows the following information:

Quality of Cloud

Widget

The Quality of Cloud shows indication of the overall health of your instance. Healthy instances range between 80% and 100%. Those between 70% and 80% need a close monitoring about further developments. A percentage below the 70% figure means that the cloud needs remediation work. See more in Quality of Cloud indicator.

The widget shows the following information:

• The Quality of Cloud
• the % variation which is the main metric difference in percentage between the current and the previous scan
• the issue number according to the baseline ruleset. See more about baseline
• the benchmark
• the trend over time

Active developers

In the Active developers section, you can see the information on your developer and non-developer team members.

Widget

The widget shows the following details:

• total number of active developers (working in the instance in the last 3 months) 
• the percentage variation which is the main metric difference in percentage between the current and the previous scan
• the total number of developers on the team

Trend - Issues and number of developers over time

The graphs show you the relation between the number of developers and the number of issues detected in the platform.

Grid

Customization ratio

Widget 

The widget shows you the following elements:

• Customization ratio shows the relation between your instance customization and configuration. The higher the percentage, the more difficult the instance is to maintain. 
• Configuration ratio shows the relation between your instance configuration and customization. 
• Benchmark shows the average metric value for comparison with other environments in Quality Clouds ecosystem. 
• Trend (overtime) shows the progress of the metric over time.

Graphs 

Changes by Type

Shows all the instance changes depending on the element type: Customization, Configuration or Extension.

Customizations are material modifications to the out of the box behavior of the system, usually done through the introduction of code which modifies default system functionality and which can introduce technical debt if best practices are not being followed.

Out-of-the-box (OOTB) modifications  is a subset to customizations done to the OOTB elements which impact directly the platform upgradeability.

Configurations are changes to the behavior of the system done in ways which are less likely to introduce technical debt (i.e. clicks, not code), and that do not impact its upgradeability.
This view also highlights which customized items are modifications to out-of-the-box (OOTB) elements. These impact the instance upgradeability directly and should always be avoided as far as possible.

Extensions, whether developed in-house or downloaded from the ServiceNow store are also shown in the dashboard, but they do not influence the customization vs configuration ratio, since they extend the capabilities of the instance rather than modifying them. 

Lines of code by Type

Shows the distribution of the lines of code depending on the element type: Customization, Configuration or Extension.

Grid 

The grid shows the list of all modifications done to the platform.
