</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.

-   **[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.

**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.
