In Dashboard Builder, all information is delivered in dashboards. A dashboard consists of one of more tiles, each of which typically displays the values of one KPI. If you choose a tile, the drilldown views for this tile are displayed. A drilldown view typically displays more detailed information about the KPI, for example, the development of the value over time.
This procedure explains how to create a drilldown view for a KPI.
To add a drilldown view to an existing tile, proceed as follows:
Select an existing tile that has the value Drilldown Views
as the Detail Page Template
. A list of the existing drilldown views of the tile is displayed.
Choose the Add
pushbutton (+) next to the dropdown box to open the configuration window for the drilldown view. The Add New KPI
screen appears.
Fill in the following property fields of this drilldown view.
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
| Enter the title of the view. It is shown when the drilldown view is displayed. |
| Five types of data source are supported.
|
| This detail view is possible for all tiles whose data is supplied via a BW query. It gives you the option of creating any drilldowns and filters from the query's fields and to output these visualizations as both a table and a chart (see Usage of the Detail View "Generic Analytics Application"). This detail view does not require any further configuration. |
| You can choose between different chart types. |
| By selecting this checkbox, you can jump to other applications in SAP Solution Manager. |
After specifying the data source, choose Enter to activate the configuration view for the data source. Depending on the data source, the list of Available Fields
is displayed. From this list, specify the fields to be displayed in Rows
and Columns
.
For the characteristics in Available Fields
, Rows
, and Columns
, you can set a filter value, by displaying the context menu of the characteristic, and selecting . On the Define Filter Values
screen, you can maintain the filter operator and the value.
