This topic describes features that enable interaction between the Chart and other dashboard items. These features include Master Filtering and Drill-Down.

Master Filtering

The Dashboard allows you to use any data aware dashboard item as a filter for other dashboard items (Master Filter). To learn more about filtering concepts common to all dashboard items, see the Master Filtering topic.

The Chart dashboard item supports filtering by argument or series values.

•Filtering by Arguments

When filtering by arguments is enabled, you can click series points to make other dashboard items display only data related to selected argument values.

•Filtering by Series

When filtering by series is enabled, you can click a series point to make other dashboard items display only data related to the selected series.

•Filtering by Points

When filtering by points is enabled, you can click a individual point to make other dashboard items display only data related to the selected point.

To reset filtering, use the Clear Master Filter button in the Chart's caption, or corresponding command in the Chart's context menu.

Drill-Down

The built-in drill-down capability allows you to change the detail level of data displayed in dashboard items on the fly. To learn more, see Drill-Down.

The Chart dashboard item supports drill-down on argument or series values.

•Drill Down on Arguments

When drill-down on arguments is enabled, you can click a series point to view a detail chart for the corresponding argument value.
