Introduction
This article describes a couple of features that enable interaction between various dashboard items. These features include Master Filtering and Drill-Down.
The section consists of the following topics:
· Master Filtering
· Drill-Down
Master Filtering
The Dashboard allows you to use any data aware dashboard item as a filter for other dashboard items (Master Filter). You can select elements in a Master Filter item (grid records, chart bars, pie segments, etc.) to filter data in other dashboard items by the selected values.
Master Filtering Modes
The Master Filter item supports two selection modes:
· Multiple - Allows you to select multiple elements in the Master Filter item.
· Single - Allows you to select only one element in the Master Filter item. When this mode is enabled, the default selection will be set to a Master Filter element. You can change this selection but cannot clear it.
To enable/disable master filtering, use the [Multiple Master Filter] or [Single Master Filter] buttons in the Data Ribbon tab.
Preventing Items from Being Filtered
You can prevent specific dashboard items from being affected by Master Filters. To do this, use the [Ignore Master Filters] button in the Data Ribbon tab.
Drill-Down
Dashboards provides the Drill-Down feature, which allows end-users 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.
Drill-down requires that the data section contains several dimensions...
To enable drill-down, click the [Drill-Down] button in the Data Ribbon tab.
The following dashboard items support the Drill-Down feature.
· Chart
· Grid
· Pies
· Cards
