Enable Drill-Down

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

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 Dashboard Item Settings topic.

The following dashboard items support the Drill-Down feature.

• Chart
