Using the Drill Across Properties Frame

Use Drill Across Properties to identify the table section that contains the source and target mappings, and to identify which columns contain the required information.

If the dashboards are located together in one folder, then the Target Path column can be set to null. However, the null column must be identified in Drill Across Properties.

*  To use the Drill Across properties frame:

  1. In Interactive Reporting Studio , open a dashboard that contains the Drill Across component.

    For example, open Sales Dashboard_esm.bqy or Costs Dashboard_esm.bqy located in the components folder with this installation.

  2. Navigate to Drill Across Properties.

    To access the configuration frame, use Sections or the Configuration drop-down list found in Dashboard Studio.

  3. From Drill Sources and Target Definitions Table, select a table.

    For example, select IDC Table.

    • From Target Query Names Column, select a target query

    • From Sections List Column, select a target section

    • From Target Labels Column, select a target label

    • From Target Service Names Column, select a target service key

  6. Perform an action:

    • To discard drill across source and target mappings and reload the original settings, click Restore
