In stories with a board layout, drilling through hierarchical data has the same
capabilities as drilling in the
Visualization room. If the story
contains more than one visualization with the same hierarchical dimension, all
visualizations in the story are updated. Input controls and filters applied to the story
are maintained during the drill and drill back operations.
The drill operation
consists of:
-
applying a filter
- redrawing the visualization at the new level of the hierarchy
When you drill through one visualization in a story, the filter is applied to
all visualizations that contain the same hierarchical dimension. The selected
visualization, and any other instances of that visualization in the story, are
redrawn at the new level in the hierarchy. Other visualizations remain drawn at the
previous level.
The updates from drilling are applied to the visualization
in the
Compose room.
Note
Drilling is only available in stories with a board layout.
