# Add breakdown sources to a responsive dashboard

To enable dashboard users to filter visualizations on a Core UI dashboard by breakdown element, add breakdown sources to the dashboard.

## Before you begin

Role required: pa\_admin, pa\_power\_user, or admin

## About this task

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Self-Service** > **Dashboards** or **All** > **Performance Analytics** > **Dashboards**.

2.  Open the relevant dashboard.

3.  From the context menu, select **Dashboard Properties**.

    \[Omitted image "dashboard-breakdown-sources.png"\] Alt text: The Edit button on the Breakdown Source related list

    A dialog opens where you can move breakdown sources into and out of the list.

5.  Move the breakdown sources you want to apply to the Breakdown Source List.

6.  Click **Save**.


## Result

The breakdown sources are available on the dashboard. Users can group the dashboard on the selected elements.

## What to do next

-   You can configure the entries in the Breakdown Source related list so that reports on the dashboard can use the breakdown sources as interactive filters. You first create interactive filters that are based on the same tables as the breakdown sources. For more information, see [Make a breakdown act as an interactive filter](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/core-ui-interactive-filters/make-breakdown-interactive-filter.md).
-   Configure the Performance Analytics widgets on the dashboard so that users can filter them by selecting breakdown elements on the dashboard. For more information, see [Configure widgets for breakdown dashboards](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/now-intelligence/performance-analytics/set-up-widgets-for-breakdown-dashboards.md).
