  Key Concepts: 
  Value-based break is a feature of SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise (BI-BIP-BOE) that allows users to create a break in a report based on the value of a particular field. This feature is useful for creating reports that are more organized and easier to read. For example, if you have a report that contains sales data, you can use value-based break to create breaks in the report based on the value of the sales amount field. 
  How to Use It: 
  To use value-based break, open the report in SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise and select the field you want to use as the basis for the break. Then, click on the “Break” button in the toolbar and select “Value-Based Break” from the dropdown menu. You will then be prompted to enter a value for the break. Once you have entered a value, click “OK” and your report will be broken up into sections based on that value.
