  • In a manual breakdown, you define the breakdown elements and the indicator scores for each element manually instead of using records from a breakdown source.

    Unlike an automated breakdown, a manual breakdown does not map to any fields on the indicator source table. Instead, users must populate the broken-down scores manually.

    Create a manual breakdown

    Create a breakdown for an indicator where you add scores manually.

    Roles required: pa_data_collector, pa_power_user, pa_admin, or admin

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Performance Analytics > Manual Breakdowns.
    2. Click New.
      The Type is set to Manual automatically.
    3. Enter a descriptive Name.
    4. Right-click the form header and select Save.
    5. In the Manual section, double-click Insert a new row to add a new breakdown element.
    6. Press Enter or click the green check mark to save the entry.
    7. Optional: Change the Order value.
      Elements with a lower Order value appear higher in the list of elements, such as on the Analytics Hub and dashboards.

    9. Click Submit.

    What to do next

    About this task

    Note:
    You can break down manual indicator scores by only one breakdown at a time. You cannot apply a 2nd-level breakdown to a manual indicator.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Performance Analytics > Manual Breakdowns.
    2. Select a breakdown record.
    3. In the Indicators related list, click Edit.
    4. Use the slushbucket to select the indicators you want to assign to this breakdown.
    5. Click Save.
    6. Optional: In the Indicator Breakdowns related list, set the Display value to false to hide the breakdown on the Analytics Hub and dashboard widgets.
      If the Display field is false, broken-down scores are still populated during data collection, but the breakdown is not selectable on the Analytics Hub or on dashboard widgets.

    What to do next

    Populate broken-down scores for the indicators using the scoresheet.
