Define Drill-Down for a Gauge Widget

Use the Drill-Down Properties page (accessed within the Gauge Widget Properties window) to define drill-down behaviors for a Gauge Widget. Drill-down options include:

  • Go to a Record List: Drill-down displays a Grid list of pertinent records. Use the CSM Grid capabilities (example: Print, export, run an Action, sort, filter, group, size, move/reorder, and add/remove columns) to display only the data you want and in a way that is meaningful to you. Click a record to view it in detail.
  • Execute a command: Drill-down executes a command/Action (example: Display an Action Catalog, Calendar, Dashboard, Document Repository, HTML Page or Visualization, or run a command, One-Step Action, search, or report).
  • Go to a Dashboard: Drill-down displays another Dashboard (example: A Dashboard dedicated to the Widget data). Filtering can be honored so that the filtering criteria on the source Dashboard is extended to the drill-down Dashboard (example: If Widget is being filtered by month, the drill-down Dashboard will initially be filtered by month, as well).
  • None: Drill-down is not allowed.

    The Gauge Widget Properties window is accessed from within the Widget Manager when you create or edit a Gauge Widget.

Good to know:

  • Dashboard drill-down is configurable, so behaviors can vary. For more information, see Dashboard Drill-Down.
  • Dashboard drill-down can be defined to honor filtering. For example, if the drill-down honors filtering (Filter Dashboard is selected on the Dashboard's Drill-Down page), when you filter a Dashboard to show only Today's data and then drill down into another Dashboard, then the drill-down Dashboard will also be filtered to show only Today's data. A Filter bar at the top of a drill-down Dashboard displays any filtering criteria. Users can remove the filter by clearing the filters.
