Breakdown widgets show indicator scores grouped by breakdown elements. Different
visualizations can be used to compare the relative proportion of breakdown elements or the
trends in these proportions.
Note:  
This feature is part of the Core UI front end. It is not supported on Platform Analytics dashboards or UI Builder pages, except to a limited extent when migrated in compatibility mode. To build Platform Analytics components, see [Data visualizations in Platform Analytics](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/H75STRbAS_sjoXByLlY~Yw "Data Visualizations use graphics to show table, indicator, and other data. They combine and extend the functions of reports and Performance Analytics widgets from the Core UI, which they replace in Platform Analytics.") or [Filters in Platform Analytics](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/85ppWHBwO9IYCoc2jJZZNw "Filter lists and data visualizations on an inline or technical dashboard. Filter by possible data value, by whether the value is true or false, or by date.").

This feature is in maintenance mode and is no longer being augmented or changed. Only security fixes to this feature will be addressed.

When you are selecting a visualization for a breakdown widget, consider whether you want to
compare the trends or the relative proportions of the breakdown elements. Also consider
whether you want to show one indicator or compare several related indicators, and whether
you want to show one or two breakdowns.

|   | Visualization | Description |
|-|-|-|
| Visualizing trends in the scores of an indicator, by elements of a breakdown |||
| ![]() | [Scorecard](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/s9qW64WcrEOLQniXBWZCTw "To show the trend for the elements of one breakdown applied to one indicator, use a scorecard visualization.") | Shows the trends for one breakdown for a single indicator. |
| Visualizing the relative proportions of the elements of a breakdown |||
| ![Data visualization vertical bar type- med]() | [Column](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/6n6Q_FQv85x6pnEPWYzZgg "To compare the elements of one breakdown applied to one indicator, use a column visualization.") | Enables a comparison between the relative proportion of breakdown elements by displaying them as proportional vertical columns. Use when a pie, funnel, or other such visualization is not appropriate. |
| ![Data visualization pie type - med]() | [Pie](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/2cUjGz4kdGuZGuOSPzZ3TA "To show the relative proportions of the elements of a breakdown, use a pie, donut, or semi-donut visualization.") | Enables a comparison between the relative proportion of breakdown elements by using a circle to represent the whole. |
| ![Data visualization donut type - med]() | [Donut](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/2cUjGz4kdGuZGuOSPzZ3TA "To show the relative proportions of the elements of a breakdown, use a pie, donut, or semi-donut visualization.") | Enables a comparison between the relative proportion of breakdown elements by using a donut shape to represent the whole. |
| ![Data visualization semi-donut type - med]() | [Semi-donut](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/2cUjGz4kdGuZGuOSPzZ3TA "To show the relative proportions of the elements of a breakdown, use a pie, donut, or semi-donut visualization.") | Enables a comparison between the relative proportion of breakdown elements by using a semi-donut shape to represent the whole. A semi-donut chart uses a donut sliced in half to represent the whole. |
| ![]() | [Funnel](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Ryg3REd3_jJSggBTA3Z0xA "To show the relative proportions of the elements of a breakdown, particularly when the elements represent stages in a process, use a pyramid or funnel visualization.") | Enables a comparison between the relative proportion of breakdown elements by displaying values as progressively decreasing proportions. The size of each section reflects a percentage of the total of all values. |
| ![]() | [Pyramid](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Ryg3REd3_jJSggBTA3Z0xA "To show the relative proportions of the elements of a breakdown, particularly when the elements represent stages in a process, use a pyramid or funnel visualization.") | Enables a comparison between the relative proportion of breakdown elements by displaying values as progressively increasing proportions. The size of each section reflects a percentage of the total of all values. |
| Visualizing both the trend in scores and the relative proportions of elements of a breakdown |||
| ![]() | [Stacked Column](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/SQOJTMtixChgYFwOCe7NWA "To follow changes over time in the relative proportion of breakdown elements for an indicator, use a stacked column visualization in a breakdown widget.") | Combines time series and breakdown widget functions. The X-axis is a time line and the visualization shows the development of indicator scores over time. Also, each column is divided into a stack of slices according to the elements of a breakdown. Thus the visualization shows the relative proportion of breakdown elements over time. |
| ![]() | [Column and total](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/LMupXdYmMQG~D_~04XtA1g "To follow changes over time in both the scores of an indicator and the relative proportion of breakdown elements for that indicator, use a Columns and Total visualization in a breakdown widget.") | Shows both the relative proportion of breakdown elements and the trend in the indicator score. Shows a separate column for each breakdown value and a line representing the total for all values, over time. |
| ![Line visualization in breakdown widget]() | [Line](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/a2Xm0GjJrR3tgTdfioJExw "To follow changes over time in the relative proportion of breakdown elements for an indicator, use a line visualization in a breakdown widget.") | Shows changes over time in the relative proportion of breakdown elements for an indicator by connecting a series of data points with straight lines. |
| ![]() | [Relative Compare](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/QyScYlxFj2bafkMm6PnBfg "To show how the relative proportions of several indicators change over time, use a relative compare visualization for a time series.") | Shows how multiple breakdowns diverge over time. |
| Other visualizations |||
| ![]() | [Pareto](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/PuRW6UJCCdgg_hByehn~Wg "To identify the most important breakdown elements when the breakdown has a large set of elements, use a Pareto visualization.") | Combines column and line visualizations to identify the most important factors in a large set of factors. |
| ![]() | [Pivot scorecard](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/pf1XlJnAsGzqMezIhk8Bnw "To compare the relative proportions of breakdown elements between a number of indicators, use a pivot scorecard visualization in a breakdown widget.") | Enables you to compare the breakdown elements for one breakdown applied to several indicators. The Y-axis can be the indicators or the breakdown elements. |
| ![]() | [Treemap](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/QY8VKqpyVYc5l_dHH1cuEg "To display a hierarchy of breakdown elements, use a treemap visualization.") | Shows a treelike display of nested rectangles with a color gradient to signify positive to negative scores or trends in scores. |
