Drill Down Reports

Clarity can build reports which summarise information, but which can be “drilled into” to view more detailed information if required; in other words, the sub report is hidden until the user activates it. This is obviously very powerful and extremely useful.

Drilldown can be added to any sub report, but it is obviously more useful in some cases than others. When implementing drilldown on an existing report, you simply need to set the component on which the user is to click to drill down.

Note: Drill down reports should always be set to one pass or else the entire report will be re-generated each time a line is drilled into.

As with many other sub reports, the main and sub reports are usually each built using separate data sources based on the same table. The data pipelines are separately named and one will be grouped to give summaries, the other will not, giving details.
