Understanding the Drill Down Feature

The Drill Down feature is available in tabular report sections only. This includes application reports that use tabular sections. You cannot create an audit trail for tabular reports containing row or cell specifications or calculation fields.

The Drill Down feature enables you to research beyond the summary information in the tabular report section and into the detail from which the information was derived. For example, in a tabular report that presents unpaid balances for customers, you can use the Drill Down feature to review each unpaid invoice that contributes to the total unpaid balance. Use the Drill Down feature to associate the data in the report with the related detail in Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne interactive application.

For financial reports, an audit trail is created when the related JD Edwards EnterpriseOne application opens. The audit trail includes detail regarding the data on the report. The audit trail records are static; therefore, the information in the audit trail might differ from the information in the records that you are auditing. For example, if someone posts a transaction after you run the report, the change is immediately reflected in the table, but it is not reflected in the audit trail.

Important: Because the Drill Down feature requires significant system resources, you should activate this feature only when it is required.
