Drill Through
The Drill Through feature allows users to explore data in greater depth by drilling into a specific dimension value from a saved View. It provides contextual insights by dynamically updating the View to reflect the selected drill-through dimension. This enables users to move from high-level summaries to detailed, dimension-specific breakdowns.
Steps to Use Drill Through
Navigate to the final screen of a Report.
Select a View that includes at least one Dimension.
Click the ellipsis (⋮) icon for the selected View.
Choose Analyse to open the View in analysis mode.
Performing Drill Through
In the Analyse window, left-click on a column containing a data value.
A context menu opens.
From the menu, select Drill Through.
A list of related drill-through options appears.
Select the desired option to drill through.
The View dynamically updates to reflect the chosen drill-through perspective.
Example
A saved View displays skill-based USD billing (BizViz, SQL, Algorithms).
The user selects Source-wise Drill Through.
The updated View now shows the sum of USD billing by Source for the selected skills.
Refining Drill Through
To switch to another drill-through dimension:
Use the drop-down menu next to the currently applied dimension.
Select another Dimension from the context menu.
The View updates based on the newly selected dimension.
Example:
Switching from Source-wise to Previous Organization-wise drill-through updates the View to show USD billing grouped by Previous Organization for the same skills.
Returning to Original View
To exit Drill Through, click the Close icon next to the selected Drill Through option.
The View reverts to its original display.
Best Practices
Use Drill Through on Views with multiple dimensions for richer exploration.
Apply filters before drilling through to focus on the most relevant subset of data.
Combine Drill Through with Drill Into (time-based) to analyze both contextual and chronological perspectives.
