Creating Drill-down between Composite Controls

This topic describes the procedure to create drill-down between Composite Controls on a dashboard.

Creating a drill-down between composite controls helps to drive from one view to another while making one of the content panes as the Source and other content as the Target.

1. From the project content tree, drag the composite controls of the respective business measures of type Graph, for which you want to create drill- down, on Dashboard (XForms) designer.
   
2. Right-click the Business Measure composite control on the XForm Designer from which you want to create drill down and select Configure Drill Down. The Message Map dialog box appears.
   
3. Map the output parameter of the source view (Business Measure) to the input parameter of the target view (Business Measure). Refer to using Message Map for more information on using message map. Click OK.
   Note:
   

• Create drill down for composite controls of multiple business measures of type Graph on similar grounds.
  
• For further details on creating a User Interface (XForm) refer to Creating XForms.
  
• Save and assign the created XForms (using composite controls) to a user or role to view it as a dashboard. For further details on assigning the XForm to a user refer Assigning Tasks to Users.
  
  

1. Click (Preview). The Preview window appears, displaying a preview of the selected XForm.
   
2. In the XForm preview, click on a data point in the view generated for source view (Business Measure). For example, click the bar if the view type for the content is 'Bar chart'. This will open up the target view (Business Measure) in the pane already defined for it.
   Note: If you have created drill-down for composite controls of multiple business measures, then you can view the target views (of multiple business measures) in the pane already defined for them.

   
   *Restriction*KPI cannot be a Source but only a Target view.

   
   Drill-down between the composite controls is created.
