Associate automated or formula indicators with a breakdown to enable the collection
of broken down scores for those indicators.

## Before you begin

The breakdown must have a breakdown mapping for the indicator source table.

Role required: pa_data_collector, pa_power_user, pa_admin, or admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllPerformance AnalyticsAutomated 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

Run a data collection jobs on the indicator to collect scores for the new breakdown.  
Important:  
If you add a breakdown to an existing indicator for which you already have scores, be careful to collect scores for the new breakdown without overwriting any collected scores.

For this purpose, create a
special one-off collection job. Set the job to collect data for as far back as you need. Select only the indicator or indicators to which you have added this breakdown. Configure the resulting job indicators to exclude all
other breakdowns. Clear the Collect indicator option on the job indicators. Then run the job.

If your role does not allow you to create collection jobs, contact your Performance Analytics admin.

For more information, see [Create or schedule a data collection job](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/gmgavPuXK3KleMIqIP8sAA "Schedule a data collection job to regularly collect Performance Analytics indicator scores and snapshots.") and [Configure a job indicator](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/hHQbaxDB~M0vVTtnSZS3tw "Increase the efficiency of data collection by configuring job indicators to collect only necessary and sensible data.").

If no appropriate field is available, specify a script to query the indicator source.")  
**Next topic:** [Manual breakdowns](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/G4Rg7cThSpCiSW46ITCA6Q#manual-breakdowns "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.")
