Adding drill paths

Use drill paths to create filters that apply across a report. When a drill path is activated, the filter card for that drill node is available.

  1. From the Designer Report, select a column entity.
  2. Select the Drill Paths icon.
  3. Select + Add Drill Path.
  4. Provide the information for your new drill path. The options for Drill To or Drill Across, depend on the entity type. See Drilling into data.
  5. Enabling Remove column on drill removes this column when drilling down. Enabling Use Parameter lets you specify additional column values to pass as parameters to the target report or dashboard.
  6. Drill To drills to a selected column in the report.
  7. Drill Across navigates to a Dashboard.
    Note: Drill Across only works when Designer report is inserted as a dashlet on a dashboard. There is a known issue that Drill Across does not work directly on the Designer report. Additionally, in HTML5 Designer, there is a known issue that Drill Across setup does not show user dashboards in their personal folder.
