Interactivity

To enable interaction between the Gauge and other dashboard items, you can use the interactivity features, as Master Filtering and Drill-Down.

Master Filtering

You can use the Gauge dashboard item as a filter for other dashboard items. To learn more about filtering concepts common to all dashboard items, see the Master Filtering topic.

When Master Filtering is enabled, you can click a gauge(s) to make other dashboard items only display data related to the selected gauge(s).

To reset filtering, use the Clear Master Filter button (the wdd-master-filtering-icon icon) in the Gauge's caption.

Drill-Down

The built-in drill-down capability allows you to change the detail level of data displayed in dashboard items on the fly. To learn more about drill-down concepts common to all dashboard items, see the Drill-Down topic.

When drill-down is enabled, you can click a gauge to view the details.

Drill-down requires that the Series section contains several dimensions at the top, from the least detailed to the most detailed dimension.
