Navigating breakdown elements with breakdown relations

Breakdown relations open a new navigation path for viewing breakdown scores, by moving from one breakdown element to another element of the same breakdown. The elements should be in an hierarchical relationship.

Important:

Platform Analytics features do not support breakdown relations.

You can use breakdown relations to navigate between the elements of a single breakdown that are in a hierarchical relationship. For example, the Location breakdown has a hierarchy of 'parent' and 'child' elements, where a country can be the parent of cities. Breakdown relations let an Analytics Hub viewer navigate from a country down into a city, from a city to the country, or between cities in the same country.

Breakdown relations in Core UI breakdown widgets

A Core UI breakdown widget can show the parent, child, or sibling elements of the element that was chosen for the breakdown dashboard. For more information about using breakdown relations on breakdown dashboards, see Showing breakdown relations on dashboards.

• Create relations between elements of a breakdown
  Use a breakdown relation to set up navigation between a hierarchy of elements within the same breakdown. A field in the breakdown records must identify the hierarchical relationship of one record to another.
• Create a breakdown-to-breakdown relation
  To set up navigation in a visualization between the elements of two breakdowns at the same level, create a breakdown relation between the breakdowns. A table must exist with fields that reference the records for both breakdowns.
