In a manual breakdown, you define the breakdown elements and the indicator scores for each element manually instead of using records from a breakdown source.{#manual-breakdowns__ph_zjz_hcf_hw}

Unlike an automated breakdown, a manual breakdown does not map to any fields on the indicator source table. Instead, users must populate the broken-down scores manually.{#manual-breakdowns__ph_manual-bkdown-populate}

Associate a manual indicator with a manual breakdown to enable users to enter
broken-down scores for the indicator.

### Before you begin

Role required: pa_data_collector, pa_power_user, pa_admin, or admin

### About this task

Note:  
You can break down manual indicator scores by only one breakdown at a time. You cannot apply a 2nd-level breakdown to a manual indicator.

### Procedure

1. Navigate to AllPerformance AnalyticsManual Breakdowns.
2. Select a breakdown record.
3. In the Indicators related list, click Edit.
4. Use the slushbucket to select the indicators you want to assign to this breakdown.
5. Click Save.
6. **Optional:** In the Indicator Breakdowns related list, set the Display value to false to hide the breakdown on the Analytics Hub and dashboard widgets.  
   If the Display field is false, broken-down scores are still populated during data collection, but the breakdown is not selectable on the Analytics Hub or on dashboard widgets.

### What to do next

Populate broken-down scores for the indicators using the scoresheet.
