    About this task

    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 or Filters in Platform Analytics.

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

    If you want to see the same breakdown applied to more than one indicator in the same widget, use a pivot scorecard. You can pivot the scorecard so that the axes for breakdown elements and for indicators are reversed.
