You can enable sharing of drill-through actions in a page. When a user drills from a source report to a target report, the target report appears in the specified area of the page.
For this feature to work, a page must have a report that contains an authored drill-through path. The page must also contain a placeholder Report Viewer portlet that is set up to receive the drillthrough requests.
Report-based drill-through works with both interactive reports and saved report outputs. However, it only works for a single drill-through request. If the drill-through contains multiple targets, it must be invoked from the context menu.
This functionality is enabled using the Channel property of the Report Viewer portlet. You must specify the same channel name for the portlet that contains the source report and the portlet that receives the target report. By default, drill-through actions are disabled in a page.
This functionality is not supported for dashboards with multiple tabs. However, a single page with drill-through actions enabled can be embedded into a dashboard as one of the tabs.
In Reporting Center, create a page that contains the Report Viewer portlets for the drill-through source report, and the target report.
For more detailed information, see the steps in the section Create a Page.
Configure one of the Report Viewer portlets to display the Report Studio source report that contains the drill-through path.
In the portlet properties page, click Select an entry to select the report you want to display in the portlet.
Configure the other Report Viewer portlet to display the drill-through target report.
As the target report, we recommend using a report that contains prompts.
In the portlet properties page, click Select an entry to select the report you want to display in the portlet.
For both portlets configured in step 2 and 3, in the Advanced Properties Editor page, for the Report-based drill-through property, select the Communicate with other portlets on the page check box, and type the channel name in the box provided.
The channel name is mandatory.
