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
• Grid
• Pies
• Cards
• Gauges
• Treemap
