To provide a filtered dataset of records that you can evaluate with one or more indicators, create an indicator source. Data snapshots indicators require different sources than do classic indicators. Data snapshots logs are
accessible on the source records.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: pa_data_collector or higher

## Prozedur

1. Select the application scope.  
   The Data snapshots source inherits your application scope. With this Data snapshots source, you can only create indicators in that application scope. You can only create one Data snapshots source for a fact table, so the choice of application scope is important. For more information, see [Application scope](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_ApplicationScope&version=australia&pubname=australia-application-development&ft:locale=en-US).
2. Navigate to AllData SnapshotsSources.
3. Select New.
4. Select a fact table from the list.  
   You can select only from tables that support the change data capture (CDC) process.
5. Select either a Daily data frequency or All Activity.  
   The Daily frequency supports only the standard calendar and the Daily indicator frequency. All Activity includes the standard calendar and all business calendars for which a Business Calendar Group is defined. It supports all indicator frequencies defined in those business calendars including intraday frequencies such as Work Shift. All Activity also supports showing data from incomplete periods in data visualizations and KPI Details. For more information, see [Creating business calendars](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=business-calendars&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US).
6. Select which Fields of the fact table to include in the Data snapshots source.  
   Only the fields you specify in the Data snapshots source are tracked historically, or can be used to filter the resulting indicators. You can add more fields after creating the Data snapshots source. However, you won't have data about fields from before you added them. Nor can you remove fields.  
   Hinweis:  
   If you add a field that references a table with a record hierarchy, you can roll up the scores for that hierarchy through a [hierarchical dashboard filter](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/wain~CUeEVjchHvHhXFf7w "If a record hierarchy is defined for a table that is used as a filter source, you can create a single or multiple select filter that follows that hierarchy. The Manager hierarchy on User [sys_user] is the typical use case.") or in [KPI Details](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/xADs6FVRXhGtFiUttu9rzQ "Filter native Data snapshots indicators by the fields on their Data snapshots sources. For fields that refer to tables with report hierarchies, roll up scores to the parent field.").
7. To activate data mining for the Data snapshots source, turn on Data collection enabled.  
   You can turn data collection off and on after creating the Data snapshots source. However, doing so might create data gaps and inconsistencies in your indicator scores.

## Nächste Maßnahme

After you create the Data snapshots source, only Data collection enabled, Fields, and Data retention period are editable.

Track the data collection activity in the log entries on this record.
