CAS-PA Sample Questions Answers

Users with the admin, pa_admin, or pa_kpi_signal_admin role can reset a baseline or dismiss a signal without being a responsible user.

Users with other roles must become responsible users to take such actions. These users also need a role that gives them access to a relevant workspace.

You can assign responsibility for KPI Signals for a KPI to yourself or someone else. You can also unassign responsibility.

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.

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.

When you select an indicator as the data source, you can filter the results by breakdown and breakdown element.

If you have the 'Label for unmatched' field defined on the breakdown source for a selected breakdown, this label appears in your choice of Elements.

Select the label to display scores that do not match any of the elements.

This option helps provide views into whether you need to create additional breakdowns or adjust data values.
