Viewing data through the Drill Around feature

You can use the Drill Around feature to view data without having to transfer to the form or forms where that information is maintained. It is an especially useful feature if you do not want to access a different application form and want to view data that is related to one of the fields on the current form.

Viewing data through the Drill Around feature

  1. Right-click in a field where you can use the Drill Around feature and choose select, or select the Drill icon.
  2. Click Explorer View.

    The Drill Explorer is displayed.

  3. Expand folders in the Drill Around form by clicking the folders or the plus signs next to them. You cannot click on gray folders (they refer to items with no data).
  4. Continue clicking folders until the data you want to view is displayed in the right pane or, when the Detail icons are displayed, click these to view the data associated with them in the right pane.
