Understanding AI drill down behavior
Posted: Thu Dec 17, 2009 12:00 am
No doubt after I study the full manual over the Christmas vacation I'll know the answer to this.
I'm confused by drill down behavior -- or lack thereof -- after applying the "AI" function to a report.
AI_1 shows an inital application of "AI" to a report.
AI_2 shows the "by year/month" merged with "planner"
AI_3 shows what happens when I click on planner "DAW" (no relation to Data Access Worldwide )
I'm expecting the same sort of drill down I would get if I were to click on a planner before merging the two reports. I don't understand what it is trying to do that results in "more than 60 columns in pivot table". And I can't find how to "change from column group to row group" at that point.
Lastly -- and probably should be in a separate topic/post -- if I open one of the "AI" generated reports in a separate window and attempt to drill down, the drill down does not occur in that window. It occurs in a split screen in the originating window. Initially I thought it didn't work, but then I navigated back to the other window. This same behavior occurs from dashboards and I think users might get a bit confused by that and require a bit extra training to understand that behavior.
