In breakdown widgets, breakdowns either group or filter indicator scores. When you
create a widget, this dual purpose of breakdowns affects the function of the breakdown
fields.
The Breakdown and 2nd Breakdown fields in the
widget form have a different function for breakdown widgets than for other widget types. In most
other widget types, these fields specify data filters. Only the indicator scores that correspond
to the specified breakdown elements are shown. However, when you create a breakdown widget, you
group the data by a breakdown instead of filtering it. The elements of the breakdown are shown as
the different wedges of a pie visualization, or separate columns in a column visualization, for
example.
You can still filter the data by specifying a breakdown and an element in the
Breakdown and Element fields. However, in this
case you must specify the breakdown that is used to group the data in the 2nd
Breakdown field. If you do not specify a 2nd Breakdown, the
Element field is ignored and the first Breakdownis
used to group indicator scores instead of filtering them.
