4.4.2 Auto-Drilldown
You can also set an auto-drill for a particular level of a cube dimension.
You can assign hyperlinks to data model attributes or query columns at the time that you design the model or query. Hyperlinks can target reports, Viewsheets, or web pages. When you use the model or query within a report or Viewsheet, the hyperlinks allow the user to drill down to the specified reports, Viewsheets, or web pages. This is known as auto-drilldown, because the specified hyperlinks are automatically created wherever the model or query is used.
You can pass parameters with the drill-down hyperlinks. Parameter values can include the value of the attribute/column on which the user clicks to launch the hyperlink, or mapped values obtained from a distinct query.
The advantages of using auto-drilldown (rather than using regular hyperlinks at the report or Viewsheet level) are that drilldown parameters can incorporate the results of arbitrary queries, and that the drilldowns are automatically propagated to all reports and viewsheets that use the model or query.
