## Brazil Early Availability

Data snapshots indicators now support bucket groups and calculated date fields.

### What's new

-   **Use bucket groups to break down Data Snapshots indicators by continuous data**

    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**

    Create calculated fields to show the length of time that has passed between two date/time fields on a Data snapshots source table. For example, calculate Age as the difference between Created and Updated.


### What's changed

-   **[Create indicators on Workflow Data Fabric tables](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/integrate-applications/data-fabric-tables-zcc.md)**

    Create classic automated indicators on external data via Workflow Data Fabric. Use Workflow Data Fabric tables in indicator sources just as you would any other facts tables.

-   **Intraday scores supported on indicators with Data snapshots enabled**

    If you enable Data snapshots on an existing classic automated indicator, you can collect intraday scores on the data snapshots indicator.

-   **Manage and troubleshoot your Data snapshots jobs more easily**

    You now are provided with new estimates and more log information:

    -   Time estimates before a job starts
    -   Progress percentages for first-day mining, changes loader, and delta mining jobs
    -   Logs include the next scheduled run timestamp after incremental job completion

### What's deprecated or removed

-   **[KPI Composer](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/now-intelligence/designing-pa-solution.md)**

    KPI Composer is deprecated starting in the Brazil release. Removal is expected in the D release, and no replacement is planned. KPI Composer will be hidden and no longer activated on new instances but will continue to be supported. For details, see the [Deprecation Process \[KB0867184\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0867184) article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.


### Plugin information

-   **Plugins planned for deprecation**
