Drill Through to a Custom URL Page

Use a URL associated with a custom direct drill region definition and display the drill through results in a separate browser. For a custom URL Type, the drill URL must include the server, port, and URL parameters, for example, https://server:port/<URL Parameters>. Customers must have access to the source data to use a Custom URL.

When you define a custom Drill using this setting for a Plan Type, the default drill creation does not create the drill region for the Plan Type. The create drill region flag is ignored if a custom drill is defined.

For information about defining a drill region, see Defining Drill Details.
