Setting up documents for drill analysis374
The Select Drill Path dialog box appears.
3. Select the path you want to drill.
4. Click OK.
Note: If the dimension value you choose to drill on is the result of a previous drill, the drill
path is already known. Therefore you do not need to select a drill path.
Retrieving more levels of data to the report
When you are drilling a Web Intelligence report, you may want to drill up or down to a
dimension that lies outside the scope of analysis defined for the document. To return the
additional data, Web Intelligence must run a new query that includes the additional
dimension(s) you specify. This is called extending the scope of analysis.
When you extend the scope of analysis, you can select filters to limit the data Web
Intelligence retrieves when running the new query. This saves time, if you are working with
a large document. If you have several reports in one document, and you select filters when
you extend the scope of analysis, those filters affect all the reports in the document.
Note: You will not be given the option to select filters, if your Drill options are set not to
display the Extend the Scope of Analysis prompt message during drill. In this case, Web
Intelligence automatically returns data for all the values on the dimensions you are drilling.
To find out how to modify your drill options see, ”Being prompted if a drill action requires
additional data” on page 357.
