Defining the Detail View

Before you start

You must have one of the following user type permissions:

• BI Author Limited

• BI Author Developer

• BI Tenant Administrator

Here's what to do

1. Create or edit the analysis whose view you want to define as the detail view.
2. Create the view that is to be the detail view, for example, a graph.
3. Edit the view.
4. Click the view's Property button on the toolbar of the view's editor. For example for a graph, click the Graph Properties toolbar button in the Graph Editor.
5. In the "Graph Properties dialog: General tab" (for graph or funnel graph), select the Listen to Master-Detail Events box.
6. In the Event Channels field, enter the name of the channel on which the detail view is to listen for master-detail events. The name must match (including case) the name of the channel on which the master view sends master-detail events. (For more information on the channel in the master view, see "Defining the Master View".
7. Click OK.
8. Note: You must drag and drop all detail columns to the same drop target. You cannot have some on the Prompts drop target and some on the Section drop target.
   In the Layout pane, drag the column (or columns) to be the detail column (or columns) to either the Prompts drop target or the Section drop target as follows:

   • If the detail view is a pivot table or table, then drag the column or columns to the Prompts drop target.

   • If the detail view is a graph or a gauge, then drag the column or columns to the Prompts drop target or to the Sections drop target, whichever you prefer, unless the graph or gauge has a column on the Prompts drop target. Then, you must drag the column or columns to the Prompts drop target.

   For more information on drop targets, see "Drop Targets"

9. If you dragged and dropped one or more detail columns to the Section drop target, then select the Display as Slider box.
