You can then share the dashboard with other users. ## Before you begin Role required: If the **com.snc.par.coreui.dashboard\_create.enabled** system property is `true`, any user with an internal role can create Core UI dashboards. For more information, see [Platform Analytics experience properties](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/pae-properties.md). ## About this task **Important:** You cannot create Core UI dashboards on instances that were net new on Xanadu or later. On instances that were net new on older releases, you can continue to create Core UI dashboards, even if the instance was fully migrated to Platform Analytics. Core UI dashboard backgrounds are not themeable with custom colors. Consider creating Platform Analytics dashboards instead of Core UI dashboards. For more information, see [Dashboards in Platform Analytics](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/analytics-center-dashboards.md) ## Procedure 1. Navigate to **All** > **Platform Analytics** > **Library** > **Dashboards**. 2. Select **Create dashboard**. 3. In the New dashboard modal, select **Core UI** and then select **Create dashboard**. \[Omitted image "create-core-ui-db-from-library.png"\] Alt text: Create new Core UI dashboard on migrated instance The form for a new Core UI dashboard opens. 4.
