Show full answer Show less ## New Features * **Data Snapshots Indicators:** Brazil allows creation of data snapshots indicators directly, overcoming previous limitations such as two-level breakdown restrictions. These indicators support automated or formula-based creation with the same access controls as classic indicators. * **Intraday Indicators:** Track process changes at granular intraday levels, such as work shifts or even per minute, using business calendars supporting intraday periods. * **Bucket Groups for Data Snapshots:** Use bucket groups to break down data snapshots indicators by continuous numeric data fields, enabling flexible value range filtering. * **Calculated Fields for Date Breakdown:** Create calculated fields to measure time intervals between two date/time fields, useful for metrics like age between creation and update. * **Workflow Data Fabric Integration:** Create classic automated indicators on external data via Workflow Data Fabric tables, treating them as standard facts tables. * **Improved Data Snapshots Job Management:** Enhanced job progress visibility including time estimates, progress percentages, and detailed logs with next run timestamps. ## Changes * **Automatic Data Snapshots Installation:** Since Australia Patch 3, Data snapshots plugin installs automatically with RaptorDB Professional, though disabled in domain-separated instances. * **KPI Details Enhancements:** KPI Details now supports native data snapshots indicators, enabling alert subscriptions on targets and thresholds, flexible filtering, hierarchical breakdowns, and customizable score formatting. * **Real-Time Trend Visualization:** Display data trends for incomplete collection periods, allowing visibility into live data accumulation without waiting for period completion. * **Improved Data Mining and Activation:** Enhanced data mining capabilities handle any record volume with automatic gap handling and clearer error messages. Indicators can be activated without active data collector jobs and without volume-related errors. * **Intraday Scores on Classic Indicators:** Enable data snapshots on existing classic automated indicators to collect intraday scores. ## Deprecations * **Dashboard Visualization Tab:** Removed from KPI Composer; existing visualizations remain accessible. * **Analytics Hub Replacement:** Replaced by KPI Details with automatic redirection. * **KPI Composer:** Deprecated starting Brazil release; it will be hidden on new instances and removed in a future release without replacement. ## Activation Information Performance Analytics is active by default as a complimentary application for Incident Management but with limited functionality (no creation of indicators or breakdowns). Full features require subscription activation of the Premium plugin matching your license. This applies to both Australia and Brazil releases. ## Important Upgrade Considerations * Review and complete all pre- and post-upgrade tasks specific to Performance Analytics before upgrading to Brazil. * Note that Data Snapshots features require RaptorDB Professional. ## Highlight Information * **Australia Highlights:** Introduction of the new Data Snapshots indicator architecture enabling unlimited breakdowns, intraday tracking, real-time score accumulation, and enhanced KPI Details support. * **Brazil Highlights:** Enables tracking of critical process metrics and trends with role-based dashboards for informed decision-making, leveraging improved indicator and data visualization capabilities.

Benefit from the simplicity of data snapshots indicators, including the escape from the two-level breakdown limit. You can create either automated or formula indicators. Access control for these indicator is the same as for classic Performance Analytics indicators. [Create intraday indicators](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-ds-source&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Track process changes at a more granular level than daily, such as by work shift. Data snapshots indicator sources support business calendars with intraday periods, which can be as short as per minute. | | Brazil | [Use bucket groups to break down Data Snapshots indicators by continuous data](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=map-bucket-group-to-ds-source&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) : To filter Data snapshots scores by a numeric field on the source table, you can now map a bucket group to that field. The bucket group splits that field into value ranges. [Use calculated fields to break down Data Snapshots indicators by date](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-a-calculated-field&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) : Create calculated fields to show the length of time that has passed between two date/time fields on a Data snapshots source table. For example, calculate Age as the difference between Created and Updated. | [ ] ## Changes Between your current release family and Brazil, some changes were made to existing Performance Analytics features. {#dfrn3-performanceanalytics-summary__entry__14} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Australia | [Data snapshots automatically installed on eligible instances](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=limitations-mlb&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : If you have Australia Patch 3 or later, the Data snapshots plugin is installed automatically if you have RaptorDB Professional. If your instance is also domain separated, the Data snapshots feature is installed but disabled. [Explore native data snapshots indicators with KPI Details](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=kpi-details-targets&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : KPI Details supports data snapshots indicators that you create, not only those that are enabled from classic indicators. The following features have been created for or extended to native data snapshots indicators: * Subscriptions for alerts on targets and thresholds, which can be set from the targets and thresholds panels * Adjustable filtering by breakdown, calendar, or time series aggregation * Hierarchical breakdowns, with scores rolled up to parent elements * Customizable score formatting options, such as precision and abbreviation [View data trends in data snapshots as data accumulates](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-ds-automated-indicator&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : When you select a field by which to trend a data snapshots automated indicator, you have the option to show the trend for incomplete collection periods. This feature shows the trend as it develops for live data without having to wait for the end of the collection period. You can set this behavior either on the automated data snapshot indicator record or in a time series data visualization for a data snapshot indicator. [Collect data snapshots scores with confidence](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=tables-unlimited-breakdowns&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Data mining for data snapshots scores has the following improvements: * Collect scores for tables with any volume of records. * The system accurately and automatically handles data gaps when data mining is turned off. * You are warned of the implications before you manually disable data mining (score collection). [Activate data snapshots in more cases and with better information](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=activate-unlimited-breakdowns&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : * Activate indicators without active data collector jobs. * Activate indicators regardless of underlying record volume. For example, the INSERT_VOLUME_EXCEEDED error no longer occurs. * If the activation fails because of scripted breakdowns, the scripted breakdowns are listed in the failure message. * Generic parsing errors have been rewritten into specific, categorized messages. | | Brazil | [Create indicators on Workflow Data Fabric tables](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=data-fabric-tables-zcc&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) : Create classic automated indicators on external data via Workflow Data Fabric. Use Workflow Data Fabric tables in indicator sources just as you would any other facts tables. [Intraday scores supported on indicators with Data snapshots enabled](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=ds-score-collection-enabled-indicators&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) : If you enable Data snapshots on an existing classic automated indicator, you can collect intraday scores on the data snapshots indicator. [Manage and troubleshoot your Data snapshots jobs more easily](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=data-snapshots-logs&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US) : You now are provided with new estimates and more log information: * Time estimates before a job starts * Progress percentages for first-day mining, changes loader, and delta mining jobs * Logs include the next scheduled run timestamp after incremental job completion | [ ] ## Removed Between your current release family and Brazil, some Performance Analytics features or functionality were removed. {#dfrn3-performanceanalytics-summary__entry__20} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Australia | No updates for this release. | | Brazil | No updates for this release. | [ ] ## Deprecations Between your current release family and Brazil, some Performance Analytics features or functionality were deprecated. {#dfrn3-performanceanalytics-summary__entry__26} | Release | Release notes | |-|-| | Australia | * The Dashboard Visualization tab in KPI Composer is no longer supported.
