Performance Analytics uses scheduled jobs to collect and clean scores and snapshots, and enables you to manually set or import scores.

To collect data immediately for existing records, run a historical data collection job.

For ongoing data collection, choose one of the following methods to collect indicator scores and snapshots based on the frequency and integrity of your data.

• If you need to measure an indicator once a month, quarter, or year, enter scores manually or import scores.
• If you need to measure indicators more frequently, or you want to eliminate any human involvement, use a scheduled data collection job.

Performance Analytics data collection jobs do not collect scores older than specified in the property com.snc.pa.dc.keep_snapshots_for. Scores or snapshots older than this value are not collected during data collection.
