Creating a component drillout

A component drillout is a component drilldown which calls an external URL or Javascript function.

To create a component drillout:

1    Begin by creating a component and a component drilldown.

2    Select the Drillout icon.


 
3   Next, you can select the drillout type you want to use.

 
External URL- allows control to be passed to an external URL within the browser session. Values from the selected Attribute columns selected are substituted into the URL before control is passed.

This option passes a single set of values into the URL and is the most commonly used drillout type.

JavaScript Function - allows control to be passed to the hosting application through a JavaScript function. This option would typically be chosen if the dashboard is running within another web application. This option allows multiple values (lists of values) to be passed into the javascript function as an XML message.
