</td><td>

-   **[Apply multiple levels of breakdown to an indicator](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=multi-level-breakdowns&family=yokohama&ft:locale=en-US)**

Migrate indicators from traditional Performance Analytics architecture to change data capture \(CDC\)-based data snapshots. This new architecture allows for more than two levels of breakdown to apply to an indicator. RaptorDB Professional is required, and not all indicators qualify for migration.

-   **[Apply multiple levels of breakdown to an indicator](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=multi-level-breakdowns&family=zurich&ft:locale=en-US)**

Australia

</td><td>

-   **[Create data snapshots indicators](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-ds-automated-indicator&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

Create data snapshots indicators and their sources rather than being able to enable data snapshots only on existing indicators. Benefit from the simplicity of data snapshots indicators, including the escape from the two-level breakdown limit. You can create either automated or formula indicators. Access control for these indicator is the same as for classic Performance Analytics indicators.

-   **[Create intraday indicators](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-ds-source&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

Track process changes at a more granular level than daily, such as by work shift. Data snapshots indicator sources support business calendars with intraday periods, which can be as short as per minute.


</td></tr><tr><td>

Brazil

</td><td>

-   **[Use bucket groups to break down Data Snapshots indicators by continuous data](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=map-bucket-group-to-ds-source&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US)**

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](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-a-calculated-field&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US)**

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.

-   **[Data snapshots automatically installed on eligible instances](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=limitations-mlb&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

If you have Australia Patch 3 or later, the Data snapshots plugin is installed automatically if you have RaptorDB Professional. If your instance is also domain separated, the Data snapshots feature is installed but disabled.


 -   **[Explore native data snapshots indicators with KPI Details](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=kpi-details-targets&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

KPI Details supports data snapshots indicators that you create, not only those that are enabled from classic indicators. The following features have been created for or extended to native data snapshots indicators:

    -   Subscriptions for alerts on targets and thresholds, which can be set from the targets and thresholds panels
    -   Adjustable filtering by breakdown, calendar, or time series aggregation
    -   Hierarchical breakdowns, with scores rolled up to parent elements
    -   Customizable score formatting options, such as precision and abbreviation
-   **[View data trends in data snapshots as data accumulates](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=create-ds-automated-indicator&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

When you select a field by which to trend a data snapshots automated indicator, you have the option to show the trend for incomplete collection periods. This feature shows the trend as it develops for live data without having to wait for the end of the collection period. You can set this behavior either on the automated data snapshot indicator record or in a time series data visualization for a data snapshot indicator.

-   **[Collect data snapshots scores with confidence](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=tables-unlimited-breakdowns&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**

Data mining for data snapshots scores has the following improvements:

    -   Collect scores for tables with any volume of records.
    -   The system accurately and automatically handles data gaps when data mining is turned off.
    -   You are warned of the implications before you manually disable data mining \(score collection\).
-   **[Activate data snapshots in more cases and with better information](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=activate-unlimited-breakdowns&family=australia&ft:locale=en-US)**
    -   Activate indicators without active data collector jobs.
    -   Activate indicators regardless of underlying record volume. For example, the `INSERT_VOLUME_EXCEEDED` error no longer occurs.
    -   If the activation fails because of scripted breakdowns, the scripted breakdowns are listed in the failure message.
    -   Generic parsing errors have been rewritten into specific, categorized messages.

Brazil

</td><td>

-   **[Create indicators on Workflow Data Fabric tables](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=data-fabric-tables-zcc&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US)**

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](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=ds-score-collection-enabled-indicators&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US)**

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](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=data-snapshots-logs&family=brazil&ft:locale=en-US)**

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

**Note:** The highlights for this release all refer to the newer Data Snapshots indicator architecture, which requires RaptorDB Professional.

-   Create new Data snapshots indicators with unlimited breakdowns. Previously you could convert only existing indicators. These indicators are supported in Data Visualizations and in KPI Details.
-   Track intraday changes with indicators such as changes between shifts. You can track changes in shifts that are still in progress, with data retrieved down to the minute level.
-   View scores as they accumulate throughout the day without having to wait for end-of-day processing.
-   When exploring a Data snapshots indicator with KPI Details, customizable score formats, apply flexible breakdowns and aggregation periods, direct alert subscriptions for targets and thresholds, and apply hierarchical roll-ups for breakdowns.
