Drill Down Report and Drill Through Report

Drill Down Report

A drill-down report allows the user to navigate the data from a comprehensive view of the data to a more detailed one. It assumes a hierarchical relationship between data. Therefore, the user can be taken to a more granular level of the data by clicking a specific visualization element on the web report.

Take the following drill-down report as an example, which supports the multidimensional drill-down and unlimited drill down.

In this order list report, you can drill down to indent details or logistics information when clicking on the hyperlink of ‘Order ID’. After you drill down to the indent details, you can continue to drilling down to navigate the product details. In this way, you can access the granular information associated with the Order ID.

Drill Through Report

Like the drill-down report, a drill-through report supports users to navigate to a different layer of data by clicking a visualization element. However, instead of providing more granular information within the same window, drill through takes users to explore another aspect of the data that is relevant to the data being analyzed. It gives users a new way to analyze data instead of a more granular view.

For example, the following supply chain dashboard shows different dimensions.

When you click the money, you can view the in, out, stock, and refund. With a simple click of the bar in the bar chart, you can navigate to complete different report in a new window, which shows in and out amount in terms of warehouse, material, products, and vegetables.
