Explanation:
par_vis_config.data_source.can_select_indicator property specifies roles (comma-separated) which
can select indicators as data sources from the Data Visualisation configuration panel. If empty, all
users can select the indicator sources that they have access to.
Type: string
Default value: empty
Location: System Property [sys_properties] table
com.snc.pa.dc.max_row_count_indicator_source property sets the maximum number of rows
allowed to be fetched from an Indicator Source.
glide.source_control.checksum_required property allows you to enable optional checksum
validations and sanitisations.
glide.knowman.search.apply_role_based_security property honours read access to knowledge bases
or articles specified for roles if set to true. If false, it enables specified user criteria to override read
access specified for roles.

Question 2

What condition do you use on the Elements Filter record for the Groups Breakdown Source to get
only groups that had an incident assigned to them?

  • A. By adding 'itil' to the Roles necessary to see the filter
  • B. By adding 'lncident->Assignment group' to the Related List Conditions

Explanation:
When you create an element filter, you can include conditions on a related field in a different table
than the breakdown source table.
Element filters enable you to limit the displayed breakdown elements on an Analytics Hub or widget
using filter conditions, including personalised visuals.
You can select an element filter when viewing breakdowns on an Analytics Hub or configuring a
breakdown widget.
For example, you could create an element filter on the Groups breakdown source, which uses the
Group [sys_user_group] table. If you added a related list condition on Incident [incident]-
>Assignment group, you would get only groups that had an incident assigned to them. If this
condition included [[Created][on][Last 6 Months]], you would get groups that were assigned an
incident that was created within the last six months.

You can set target values for indicators. When you set a target for an indicator on the Analytics Hub,
you can now do the following:
* Set a start date in the future.
* Set a review date on which to consider updating the target.
* Set the target as an improvement on the average score or on the previous target. You can set the
improvement as a percentage.
You can have the targets apply only to specific breakdown elements and time series. The target starts
to apply at a selected date and continues to apply until you set the next target. However, you can set
a review date on which to reconsider the target.

The following styling options are added in the Quebec release:
* Show or hide a visualisation component header on a landing page, along with its label and icons.
* Change score sizes of single score visualisations.
* Set default, palette, or single colour options for data display.
* Sort on categories in bar, pie, and donut visualisations based on table data sources.
* Define data label positions and show labels that overlap on bar visualisations.
Creating a new visualisation type is not an available styling option.

Explanation:
You can rely less on roles and more on access control lists (ACLs) to secure Performance Analytics.

indicator and breakdown ACLs are respected:
* Analytics Hub

* KPI Details
* Breakdowns on workbench widgets
Performance Analytics widgets: In general, Performance Analytics widgets follow indicator and
breakdown ACLs.
Targets and Thresholds: On the Analytics Hub, no roles are required to create personal targets and
thresholds.

  • A. By selecting the 'New' button on the 'Breakdowns' related list

Explanation:
A breakdown source is defined as a set of records from a table or database view or as a bucket group.
Multiple breakdowns can use the same breakdown source.
Breakdown sources specify which unique values, called breakdown elements, a breakdown contains.
Breakdown source records have a related list that lists the breakdowns that are based on that source.
You can create a breakdown by selecting the New button while in this list. The list works like the
Indicators list on indicator source records.
Other options in this question do not exist on the breakdown source form.
After you create breakdowns that use this source, these breakdowns are listed in the Breakdowns
tab.

Question 11

How should an admin activate the KPI Signals?

  • A. Raise a ServiceNow Support (HI) request
  • B. Request from the ServiceNow Store
  • C. It is active by default

Explanation:
You no longer have to activate the KPI Signals (com.snc.pa.kpi_signals) plugin. It is active by default.
If you do not want this feature, request a Now Platform administrator to set the property
com.snc.pa.activate_kpi_signals to false. Because this property does not exist by default, the
administrator must add it.
If you reactivate KPI Signals, signal detection resumes from the time you originally deactivated the
feature, not from the time you reactivated it.

Question 12

What is an easy way for a responsible user to get real-time updates on the signals for a particular
KPI?

  • A. Monitoring the signal score on a dashboard
  • B. Receive email notifications
  • C. Schedule a report for the signal data
  • D. Manually check the KPI doe signals

D 1 votes

Explanation:
As a responsible user, you can receive email notifications about new or unresolved signals, anti-
signals, or any actions taken on signals.
You can configure how frequently you get these reminders and the maximum number of reminders
to get for a signal.
You no longer have to open KPI Signals and manually check each KPI for signals.
Scheduling a report for the signal data does not provide real-time updates.
Manually check the KPI for signals and monitoring the signal score on a dashboard requires the user
to constantly check for the updates without a pause, which is not easy.

Explanation:
A pie visualisation shows how individual pieces of data relate to the whole using a circle to represent
the whole.
A Donut visualization shows how individual pieces of data relate to the whole using a donut shape to
represent the whole.
Single score visualisations display a single, key business value or current aggregate indicator score.
You can set a score to update in real-time.
The following enhancements are made to pie, donut, and single score visualisations in the Quebec
release:
* The metric label name is displayed near the metric value.
* Legend percentages are shown along with values.
* Data labels are shown as only percentages, as values, or as both.
Gradient, texture, or no colour are not valid colour options for data display.
You can set 'default', 'colour palette' and 'fixed element colour' for pie and donut visualisations, and
'default' and 'single colour' for single score visualisations.
