Creating drillout components - Overview

Drillout components allow Intuitive Dashboards to interface with other web applications through their URL. Additionally, if the dashboard is embedded within another system using an iFrame, drillouts can be used to pass parameters back to the host application through either the page's DOM or an embedded javascript function.   
 
Drillouts allow parameters from the underlying dashboard dataset to be embedded within the URL, DOM or javascript function.
