The Tree component enables you to filter data in a hierarchical fashion.
Traditionally, applying filters in an Interactive Reporting document was performed one at a time. For example, previously to filter data to the following location, one filter was added at a time.
Asia Pacific > Pacific Rim > Australia > New South Wales > Sydney
That is, each filter was located and a value was selected from the list.
First filter: Region = Asia Pacific
Second filter: Territory = Pacific Rim
Third filter: Country = Australia
Fourth filter: State = New South Wales
Fifth filter: City = Sydney
As several cities are called Sydney around the world, applying one filter may result in data from cities other than Sydney, Australia being included.
The component presents all geographical information in a tree view and enables you to drill a path down to a city. After selecting a city, click Add, and all values in the path; for example, Asia Pacific, Pacific Rim, Australia, New South Wales, and Sydney, are applied as filters at the one time.
