When you use Analytics Q&A, the suggestions from previous searches are now shown together with the suggested indicators, tables, and columns.

As you type in a query, Analytics Q&A suggests recent searches, indicators, tables, and columns that match what you have typed so far. Only the tables and columns to which you have access are shown.

If Analytics Q&A cannot determine which table you want, it shows you up to three likely tables.

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.

Answer : B

To support notifications, the KPI Signals application provides automated signal detection jobs. For formula indicators, you can modify the jobs to line up with the data collection jobs for the contributing indicators.

The KPI Signals application includes jobs that detect signals automatically. These jobs run so responsible users can be notified of new signals without opening the application. The job for signals on formula indicators requires scheduling.

When you view an indicator in KPI Details and open the KPI Signals panel, that indicator is checked for signals. You, therefore, always have the most up-to-date signals. However, the KPI Signals application also has automated signal detection jobs. These jobs send notifications about signals to subscribed users without them having the application open.

Answer : B, C

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.
