Hi Folks,

I am working on a Dashboard where the idea is to have a splash page with the main kpis and if needed the user can navigate to a more detail tab to explain or give more insights of this KPI. I realized the Drill Through works to a report but not for tab inside the same dashboard.

Did anyone face this before or have any idea on how to do that?

Thanks.

Hi Vitor,
Have you considered using a Story?  This way you could use animations on a "scene" to progress from widget to widget.  Unfortunately, I doubt this would address your requirement since what you are describing is data-driven linking, in Cognos that is only achievable with drill-through, which as you mentioned requires a report target. However, as usual, your requirement could be addressed with a Report using self-drilling, multiple pages, and a tabbed output (view pages as tabs).

Thanks Albert,

I might use a report built in Report Studio using the pages as tabs.

Do you know how I can build a drill through from the first page/tab to another tab? The drill through only points to a specific report and not within the same report

I believe you have to use a Bookmark, let me see if I can mock something up from the samples and if so I'll shoot over report spec.

I thought Bookmarks only work on PDF outputs.

I found another technique - you CAN use bookmarks in HTML or PDF output, but the bookmarks cannot traverse the report "logical" pages.  I found another technique, it is from version 8, but I think using report URL'S within an HTML object could work.  Here is a link to the C8 technique, I'm intrigued, so I'm working on getting this to work in 11.1, but still haven't got it working yet.
