====Splitting====

A layered analytic can **split** when it uses data-gathering functions (such as [[get_query|get_query]]) when there is more than one [[frame|frame]] available.

For example, you might have used the [[get_events|get_events]] layer to load a set of three events - the Morning, Day and Night shifts.

When you then use [[get_query|get_query]], your analytic will then //split// - instead of running once, it will run once **for the Morning, Day and Night** shifts.

All following layers - regardless of type - will also run per-shift.
