You can set up a drilldown for an IDO-based critical number either by
creating one new or by copying an existing one and then modifying it.
-
Open the
Drilldowns Setup form and execute Filter In
Place.
-
In the
Drilldown field, specify
an unused integer to identify the drilldown. If you do not specify an integer
here, the system automatically assigns the next available integer.
-
In the
Description field, provide
a descriptive name by which the drilldown and its use can be easily identified.
-
On the
General tab, make the basic
specifications for the drilldown.
-
Optionally, set up the IDO source for the drilldown.
-
Optionally, use the
Output Columns tab to
rearrange the order in which the output is to be displayed and the captions to
be displayed for those columns. The data that is displayed on this tab is
derived from the IDO source set up in Step 5.
-
Optionally, use the
Categories tab to specify
one or more categories to which the drilldown belongs. When you select a
category, the
Category Description field
is populated automatically.
-
Optionally, use the
Sub Drilldowns tab to
specify one or more sub-drilldowns to use in conjunction with the selected
drilldown.
-
Optionally, use the
Static Parameters tab to
specify one or more name-value pairs
Note: Static parameter options are most effective when the source of
data for the critical number is a stored procedure. When the data source is an
IDO, the same end is accomplished much more easily using filters.
-
Optionally, use the
Input Parameters tab to
rearrange the order in which input parameters are queried for data and provide
descriptions of each.
The data that is displayed on this tab is derived from the IDO
source set up in Step 5.
-
Associate the drilldown with a critical number:
- Launch the
Critical Numbers Setup form and navigate to
the critical number.
- On the
Drilldowns tab, select
the new drilldown and specify a description.
- Save your changes.
