Custom
drill-downs simplified
Author: Oswaldo Salazar Navigation—or
drill-down—in Siebel Analytics is usually determined by the configuration
of the business model in the Analytics Server. However, Siebel Analytics Answers
provides developers with a handy feature that allows for the creation of custom
navigation. How it works Let’s
assume that you have created a report, let’s call it Report 1, in Siebel
Answers and you would like to drill-down to a second report, let’s call
it Report 2, by clicking on a specific column. Follow these steps to achieve the
desired results: - Create a source report (Report 1)
in Siebel Answers. This is the report from which you will drill down.
- Create
a target report (Report 2) in Siebel Answers. This report will be the destination
report used when drilling down from the source (Report 1). In addition, the target
report (Report 2) will be filtered by the value passed when clicking on Report
1. Make sure that both reports use common column names or variables.
- In
Report 1, click on the “Format Column” button for the column from
which you would like to drill down. Next select the “Navigate to another
request or Dashboard” option, browse to locate the target report (Report
2) and save your changes
 - In
Report 2, click on the “Add Filter” button for the column you would
like the filter to be applied. In the “Operator” list choose “Is
Prompted” and save your changes.
