\n\nField\n\n\n\nDescription\n\n
\n\nData\n\n
\n\nData source\n\n\n\nYou have selected an Indicator data source in [Create a pivot table data visualization in the Visualization Designer](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/create-dv-pivot-ac.md).\n\n
\n\nMetric\n\n
\n\nLabel\n\n\n\nLabel of the metric. By default it is the same as the name of the data source.\n\n
\n\nTime aggregation\n\n\n\nTime aggregation to apply to the metric, such as 7-day running SUM or By-month AVG. Default is the same as the indicator period. For more information, see [Applying time series aggregations](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/performance-analytics/applying-time-series-aggregations.md).\n\n
\n\nSelect an aggregation \\(Data snapshots indicators only\\)\n\n\n\nThe aggregation is based on the Data snapshots indicator's configuration. You cannot change it in the context of creating a data visualization. **Count** counts the number of records. **Count distinct** counts the number of unique values rather than the total number of records. For example, if the name of a user appears more than once in a list, the user is only counted once. Other choices perform the specified aggregate operation, such as summing the values in a field across records.\n\n
\n\nField \\(Data snapshots indicators only\\)\n\n\n\nThe field on the Data snapshot's source to which the aggregate is applied. Required for all aggregates except Count.\n\n
\n\nShow incomplete periods \\(Data snapshots indicators only\\)\n\n\n\nSelect to display values from the period in progress. Clear this check box to show only the values for completed periods.\n\n
\n\nFormat values\n\n\n\nSelect to open the **Formatting values** dialog. For more information, see [Value formatting in reports](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/reporting/value-formatting-reports.md).\n\n
\n\nFormatting values\n\n
\n\nUse custom formatting\n\n\n\nOption to use custom formatting on the component.\n\n
\n\nDecimal precision\n\n\n\nNumber of decimals to show in the metric. This field is available only when the **Use custom formatting** option is activated.\n\n
\n\nRounding\n\n\n\nType of rounding to use to reach the number of decimals in the **Decimal precision** field. Options include:- Up `UP`\n- Down `DOWN`\n- Ceiling `CEILING`\n- Floor `FLOOR`\n- Half up `HALF_UP`\n- Half down `HALF_DOWN`\n- Half even `HALF_EVEN`\n\n **Note:** Only available when **Use custom formatting** is true.\n\n
\n\nUse the thousands group separator\n\n\n\nOption to use a comma to separate groups of thousands.**Note:** Only available when **Use custom formatting** is true.\n\n
\n\nEnable abbreviation\n\n\n\nOption to use an alphabetical abbreviation. For example, M to represent million. **Note:** Only available when **Use custom formatting** is true.\n\n
\n\nExample\n\n\n\nExample of the final value to show in the component. **Note:** Only available when **Use custom formatting** is true\n\n
\n\nGroup by\n\n
\n\nBreakdown\n\n\n\nList of breakdowns to choose from for grouping indicator scores.**Important:**\n\n- Scripted breakdowns are not supported in dashboard filters.\n- Only two levels of breakdown are supported in total, including data visualization and dashboard filters.\n\n Each breakdown element is shown separately in the visualization. If a multiple select filter for that breakdown is also applied to the visualization, only the selected elements are shown. If you do not specify a breakdown in this field and apply a multiple select filter, the aggregate score of all selected breakdown elements is shown. For more information, see [Viewing multiple breakdown elements](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/performance-analytics/view-multiple-breakdown-elements.md).\n\n Data snapshots indicators support only reference, Boolean, and choice fields for group bys.\n\n **Note:** For Data snapshots indicators, breakdowns are specified on the indicator source. For classic Performance Analytics indicators, breakdowns are specified on the indicator record.\n\n
\n\nMax number of groups\n\n\n\nThe maximum number of breakdown elements to display in columns. This property does not apply to rows.\n\n
\n\nSorting\n\n
\n\nSort by\n\n\n\nSorting options of the main and alternative groups set in **Group by**. Options include:- Name: Sorts the values alphabetically by field or element name.\n- Value: Sorts the values numerically or by count.\n- Element order: When grouping by Choice \\[sys\\_choice\\] table records, sorts groups by the Sequence field value.\n- Group bucket: Sorts the elements by bucket group, when applicable. Only available for indicator data sources and when the breakdown used for the **Group by** is based on a bucket group.\n- Report range: Sorts the table field values by range. Only available for table data sources and when the table field used for the **Group by** has a report range associated with it.\n\n**Note:**\n\n- The choices of what to sort by are based on the main, default **Group by**, if one is defined. This sorting applies to any alternative group-bys if possible. If the sorting criterion cannot apply to an alternative group-by, sorting defaults to Value. For example, sorting by Element order when the alternative group-by is not on the Choice table defaults to Value.\n- If no main **Group by** has been set, but alternative group-bys are defined, you can sort only by Name or Value.\n- Sorting is not available for Pareto bar visualizations. Pareto charts are always sorted by value in descending order.\n\n
\n\nSort by order\n\n\n\nAscending or descending.\n\n
\n\nAdditional settings\n\n
\n\nShow 0 when no data is available\n\n\n\nWhen toggled on, shows empty \\(NULL\\) values as zero \\(0\\). Default is true.\n\n
\n\nData update\n\n
\n\nFollow filters\n\n\n\nFollow filters set for a page. When enabled, the visualization displays on a workspace with the filters set by the page. Toggle off to disable a visualization from accepting any filter input.\n\n
\n\nShow filter icon\n\n\n\nOption to show the filter icon and the number of filters impacting the visualization. If a filter is not selected to apply to a visualization, the icon does not show. Toggle off to hide the filter icon and number of filters applied.\n\n
\n\nRefresh after being away for X min.\n\n\n\nTriggered when you navigate away from the dashboard that contains the data visualization to another page in the same workspace, includingPlatform Analytics experience. Sets how many minutes you will be on another page before the visualization automatically refreshes when you navigate back.Do not confuse this property with the **Scheduled repetition** setting on inline dashboards. This latter property refreshes the entire dashboard, and applies only while that dashboard is open.\n\n
\n\nInfo messages\n\n
\n\nSet custom message when no data\n\n\n\nOption to configure a custom message that displays when no data is returned.\n\n
\n\nIllustration\n\n\n\nAn illustration to include in the message.\n\n
\n\nHeading\n\n\n\nHeader text of the message that describes why no data was returned.\n\n
\n\nHeading level\n\n\n\nHeader text size for the message that describes why no data was returned.\n\n
\n\nContent\n\n\n\nSecondary text of the message that provides additional detail.\n\n
\n\nAlignment\n\n\n\nThe alignment of the illustration and text in the message.\n\n
