Drill-Down

Dashboard provides the Drill-Down feature, which allows you to change the detail level of data displayed in a dashboard item. The Drill-Down feature enables users to drill down to display detail data, or drill up to view more general information.

Enable Drill-Down

Drill-down requires that the data section contains several dimensions...

... or a hierarchy data item (in OLAP mode).

To enable drill-down, click the Drill-Down button in the Data Ribbon tab (or the button if you are using the toolbar menu).

Note

If the selected dashboard item contains several types of elements that can be used for drill-down, the Ribbon or Toolbar will provide the appropriate buttons to switch between these types (e.g., Arguments and Series buttons in a Chart). For details, refer to the documentation for the individual dashboard items in the Designing Dashboard Items topic.

The following dashboard items support the Drill-Down feature.

• Chart
• Scatter Chart
