Issue/Symptoms

When creating a report in Table Builder, which is one of the features of Workspace in Adobe Analytics, the number of Breakdowns is limited to five items, unlike Rows.

Resolution resolution

At this moment, the maximum number of Breakdowns is five items. Therefore, in order to display the Breakdown result of more than five items, it is necessary to create a report with Table Builder once with five items, and then set Breakdown manually for the required ones.

For example, if you set the “Rows: 10 items” and “Breakdown: 5 items”, only the top five items in the displayed report results will be broken down. In that case, after generating the report, you can manually add Breakdown for the bottom five items to confirm the results of all 10 items being broken down. If the report also exists on the next page, the number of manually set Breakdown results (10 items) will be displayed on the next page, so you won’t have to set it again on the next page.
