Building Reports Using the Web Intelligence Java Report Panel 369
Note: If you try to drill to a dimension that is already displayed in another column or row
of the same table, Web Intelligence automatically displays the next available dimension in
the drill path.
Drilling down on a dimension value in a table or section cell
To drill down on a dimension value in a table or section cell:
1. Verify you are in Drill mode.
The Drill button is pressed in when you are working in Drill mode and the drillable
values display on the report as hyperlinks.
2. On a table or section cell, place your pointer over the dimension value on which you
want to drill.
A ToolTip appears, showing the next dimension in the drill path.
3. Click the value.
The drilled table or section displays data one dimension level down.
The
Drill toolbar, at the top of the report, displays the values from which you drilled.
These values filter the values displayed on the drilled table.
NOTE: If the drilled report includes dimensions from multiple data providers, the
ToolTip displays the name of the query and the dimension for the value. (For more
information about how drilled reports are filtered see, ”Using filters when you drill”
on page 385.)
Drilling up
You drill up on a dimension value to see how the more detailed data aggregates to a
higher-level result. For example, you may have drilled down on Year to examine data for
each quarter. If you want to see how this data aggregates to yearly results, you can drill
up.
When you drill up on a dimension value, you move along the drill path from lower- to
higher-level data. For example, you may have drilled down on [Year] to [Quarter]. If you
drill up on [Quarter], you return to [Year].
