About Breakdowns & Breakdown Sources

Breakdowns slice indicator data into dimensions—by assignment group, priority, category, or any other field. Breakdown Sources define the available values, and Breakdown Mappings connect breakdowns to Indicator Sources.

Why This Matters for Your Exam

Breakdowns & Breakdown Sources account for 25% of the CIS-PA exam. Questions cover breakdown source types, breakdown mappings, the breakdown matrix, scripted mappings, and bucket groups for custom ranges.

Key Concepts to Master

Understand the three breakdown source types: Manual (static list), Automated (dynamic from table), and Bucket group (numeric ranges). Breakdown Mappings specify which field connects the indicator source to the breakdown. The Breakdown Matrix shows all indicator-breakdown combinations.

Exam Tips

Breakdowns don't collect data themselves—they categorize indicator scores. A single indicator can have multiple breakdowns. Bucket groups are essential for numeric fields like 'time to close' where you want ranges (0-1 hour, 1-4 hours, etc.).
