While performing drill down on the aggregate values, note that:

  • You may not be able to drill down an aggregate value if the authentication domain is incorrect. Set it up from the PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture or in the Web Profile page. See “Configuring General Portal Properties” in Configuring Web Profiles.

  • When you move the mouse over the value numbers, they appear as underlined links. Click the links to open the Detailed Data view for the aggregate value.

  • If related actions are configured for the aggregate view, clicking the value number links populates a context menu with two options: Detailed View and Actions.

See Configuring the Related Actions Menu.

By clicking the data point on the chart, you can also drill down on aggregate values in the chart to view the detailed data that represents the chart data point; for example, a bar, a pie section, a line chart data point, and so on. If related actions are configured for the aggregate view, clicking the data point on the charts populates a context menu with three options: Detailed View, Drilldown To, and Actions.

This example shows the Drilldown To option that enables you to drill down to an axis value.

You can use the filter above the grid on the pivot grid viewer to select specific items. The grid and chart changes accordingly. You can select single or multiple values from one or more filter dropdown options. The filters also apply progressive filtering if they are dependent on each other.

Note: After applying filters on the Pivot Grid, if you navigate to a URL or Related Action, and then return to the Pivot Grid, the applied filters will be retained on the Pivot Grid. However, any changes that you make to the Pivot Grid database will not be updated on the retained filter(s).
