To collect scores for an automated indicator, add a collection job to that
indicator.

## Before you begin

Note:  
This procedure shows how to add fully configured data collection jobs to an automated indicator, from the indicator side. For information about configuring data collection jobs and adding them to indicators from the job side, see [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."). Only persons with the pa_data_collector role, such as Performance Analytics administrators, can configure job indicators.

Role required: pa_power_user, or admin

## Procedure

1. Open an existing automated indicator.
2. In the Jobs related list, click Edit.  
3. **Optional:** Use Add Filter and Run Filter to limit the selection of jobs.
4. Select one or more jobs in the Collections or Jobs List.  
   Unless you have a clear use case to do otherwise, help keep your jobs manageable by selecting no more than one scheduled job for your indicator. Select as many unscheduled jobs as are relevant. Generally, add one historical job that you run only once on a new indicator.
5. Use the arrow buttons to move the jobs to the other list.
6. Click Save.

Map which field on the indicator source references the breakdown source. If no appropriate field is available, specify a script to associate the indicator and breakdown sources.")  
**Next topic:** [Performance Analytics snapshots](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/PWzLJCpdSqpsyGmz2L3X0w "Snapshots are the lists of records (sys_ids) that are collected at the time that the scores for those records are collected. Snapshots enable users to drill down into the records from a Performance Analytics indicator visualization.")
