How to remove SharePoint PerformancePoint tab

Question

Hi all,

I upgreded my SharePoint OnPremise 2016 to 2019 months ago. Today I created a new subsite and in the document library I find a new tab PerformancePoint:

How can I remove it? Please no jQuery or CSS hacks.

Hi @Borsoi Emanuel,

Thank you for posting in the community.

As per my knowledge, this tab is due to the addition of a PerformancePoint Services service application to your SharePoint.

Please go to CA->Application Management ->Manage Service Applications, check if you have added this service application.

Please check this service application with your administrator and ask him to delete it if it is not needed. Please refer to this article to remove the service application: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/administration/delete-a-service-application

If it does not affect your normal use, I think it can be ignored.

Answer 2

Hi @Borsoi Emanuel,

Did you create a new site under the Site Collection which site template is "Busines Inteligence Center site"?

In my tests, if I create a team site under a site collection which template is "Busines Inteligence Center site", I will find this PerformancePoint tab.
You can use PowerShell to view your SiteCollection's site Template:

$web = Get-SPWeb "https://sharepoint.crescent.com" #Replace the URL with the URL of your SiteCollection
Write-Host $web.WebTemplate "#" $web.WebTemplateId

If the result is 3200, it means that you are using Busines Inteligence Center site template.

If you are in the same situation as me, SharePoint is designed in such a way that PerformancePoint tab cannot be removed.
