Drilling into Data

Data Management enables you to drill into your data enabling you to answer questions such as what values make up a value. Three types of drill processes are available for drilling data: drill up and down, drill back, and drill through.

Drill up and down enables you to navigate EPM dimensions and hierarchies allowing you to see which members are aggregated. . For example, when you drill down on the Period dimension member "Q4", you might see: "Jan", "Feb" and "Mar".

Drill back enables you to navigate from the EPM application (such as Planning) to the source application from which the data was stored and extracted. For example, if you initiate the drill back from Planning and the data is stored in an application on the Oracle Financials Cloud, you are directed back to the Oracle Financials Cloud.

Drill through enables you to navigate from source balance within Data Management back to the source system from which the data was extracted. This allows you to review the detailed (transactional) data that constitutes the source value.
