Show full answer Show less ## Key Features * **Multi-level Breakdown for Indicators:** Starting from Yokohama and Zurich, Performance Analytics supports applying multiple breakdown levels to indicators beyond the traditional two-level limit, enabled by migrating to a change data capture (CDC)-based snapshot architecture with RaptorDB Professional. * **Data Snapshots Indicators:** Introduced in Australia, customers can create new data snapshot indicators and sources, benefiting from simpler setup and escaping previous breakdown limits. This includes support for automated and formula indicators with access control aligned to classic indicators. * **Intraday Indicators:** Australia release allows tracking process changes at granular levels such as work shifts or minutes, enabled by business calendars with intraday periods. * **Bucket Groups \& Calculated Fields (Brazil):** Brazil enhances data snapshots by allowing bucket groups to segment continuous numeric data for filtering and calculated fields to analyze elapsed time between date/time fields, enabling richer breakdowns and insights. * **Workflow Data Fabric Integration (Brazil):** Create classic automated indicators on external data via Workflow Data Fabric tables, using them as facts tables within indicator sources. * **Improved Data Snapshots Job Management:** Brazil provides enhanced job time estimates, progress percentages, and detailed logs to simplify monitoring and troubleshooting of data snapshot collection processes. ## Key Changes * **Automatic Data Snapshots Installation:** From Australia Patch 3 onward, the Data Snapshots plugin installs automatically on eligible instances with RaptorDB Professional, though it is disabled if domain separation is enabled. * **KPI Details Enhancements:** KPI Details now supports native data snapshots indicators with advanced features like alert subscriptions, adjustable filtering, hierarchical breakdowns, customizable score formatting, and trending of incomplete collection periods. * **Score Collection Improvements:** Data mining for snapshots now supports any record volume, automatically manages data gaps, and provides warnings before disabling score collection. * **Indicator Activation Enhancements:** Indicators can be activated without active data collector jobs or volume limitations, with clearer error messages for scripted breakdown issues. * **Intraday Score Support:** Brazil enables intraday score collection on existing classic automated indicators that have data snapshots enabled. ## Deprecations and Removals * **KPI Composer Deprecation (Brazil):** KPI Composer is deprecated starting in Brazil and will be removed in the D release with no planned replacement. It will be hidden on new instances but remains supported temporarily. * **Dashboard Visualization Tab:** Deprecated in Australia, with existing visualization tabs retained and Analytics Hub replaced by KPI Details. * **No features or functionality removed between Yokohama and Brazil releases.** ## Activation and Requirements * Complimentary Performance Analytics for Incident Management is active by default across releases but does not allow creation of indicators or breakdowns. * Full Performance Analytics features require subscription and activation of the matching Premium plugin. * RaptorDB Professional database is required to utilize new data snapshots features introduced from Yokohama and Zurich onward. ## Additional Information * **Browser, Accessibility, and Localization:** No updates or changes noted for these areas across the releases. * **Highlights Across Releases:** Customers can track critical process metrics and trends, measure process health against organizational targets, identify bottlenecks, and visualize real-time and historical data within role-based dashboards to empower decision-making. * **Data Snapshots Architecture:** Enhances indicator capabilities including unlimited breakdowns, intraday tracking, real-time trending, and flexible alerting and aggregation options, especially when using RaptorDB Professional.

This new architecture allows for more than two levels of breakdown to apply to an indicator. RaptorDB Professional is required, and not all indicators qualify for migration. | | Zurich | [Apply multiple levels of breakdown to an indicator](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=multi-level-breakdowns&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US) : Migrate indicators from traditional Performance Analytics architecture to change data capture (CDC)-based data snapshots. This new architecture allows for more than two levels of breakdown to apply to an indicator. RaptorDB Professional is required, and not all indicators qualify for migration. | | Australia | [Create data snapshots indicators](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-ds-automated-indicator&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US) : Create data snapshots indicators and their sources rather than being able to enable data snapshots only on existing indicators. 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.

[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).
