In ServiceNow Performance Analytics,Indicator SourcesandIndicatorsare distinct objects with different responsibilities, and understanding their behavior is essential for correct architecture and deployment.
Option A is correct.
Indicator Sources definehowandwhen raw data is queried, but they can be reused by multiple data collection jobs. Even if an Indicator Source is configured with aMonthly frequency, it can still be executed by aDaily data collection job. The job frequency controls execution timing, not the source frequency itself. This reuse is a documented performance optimization in Platform Analytics.
Option C is correct.
TheIndicator frequency is independent of the Indicator Source frequency. For example, an Indicator Source may collect daily raw data, while the Indicator aggregates and stores scores weekly or monthly. This separation allows flexible aggregation strategies and is explicitly supported by Platform Analytics design.
Option B is incorrectbecause Breakdowns require aBreakdown Mapping, but they are not inherently tied only to Automated Indicators, nor is this statement describing object behavior accurately in isolation.
Option D is incorrectbecause Breakdowns can be assigned to an Indicatorbefore or after data collection; they are applied when the next collection runs.
