the area of the chart and dragging the mouse on the chart area with the left mouse button over the region
of interest and then releasing the mouse button.
Click inside the selected area. The information within the drill-down appears.
Zooming in on a chart section
Right-click the chart area, and if the chart supports it, a menu displays alternate reports that you can run.
Opening dashboard reports
To drill down on a Dashboard summary report, click on the desired report to open it in a new window.
Drilling down within detailed tables
You can drill down on detailed table reports by right-clicking a row from the table. If the report is
configured to have a menu, it displays and lists all available reports.
Displaying previous reports
Each report frame within the GUI maintains a report history of all the reports displayed within that frame.
To go back to a previous report, click Back in the Navigation tree. If a report exists within the history, then
the last report is displayed in the Report Display window. Click Back again to display the report that was
displayed previously. Click Forward to go to the next report.
