Supported EPM Cloud data sources: If you're using Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud to load data for drill-through reports, the Drill-Through Launch option gives you the choice of selecting whether to launch drill-through reports in a browser or on a new sheet, or to be prompted to make that choice at run time.
The Drill-Through Launch option is located on the Advanced tab of the Options dialog. For more information, see Setting the Drill-Through Launch Option.
