Breakdown sources

Breakdown sources specify which unique values, called breakdown elements, a breakdown contains.

A breakdown source is defined as a set of records from a table or database view or as a bucket group. Multiple breakdowns can use the same breakdown source. For example, instead of seeing ALL assignment groups for the Number of Open Changes indicator, you can limit the element list to just those groups that are part of the change process by configuring the Breakdown Source.

• Define a breakdown source
  Specify a facts table to serve as a data source for breakdowns. Apply conditions to specify the elements for this breakdown source.
• Bucket groups for breakdown sources
  Bucket groups are used to recategorize data so it can be used as a breakdown, for example by grouping a range of values into discrete buckets.
