Dashboards allows you to perform exploratory analysis using the following interactive features.
Users of a dashboard can view the underlying data of a report in the dashboard. To view a chart's underlying data,
Navigate to the report, click the required data point and select View Underlying Data.
The underlying data of the data point will be displayed as shown below.
Alternatively, you can also view the entire underlying data of the report by clicking the More option and selecting View Underlying Data.
The Drill Down option allows you to perform powerful exploratory analysis. Using this feature, you can click on any data point in a chart and visualize the underlying data as a chart. You can either drill down using the path that is already set for the chart or choose from the list of compatible columns suggested by Zoho Analytics. Click to learn more about the drill down option.
To drill down a chart,
The following options will be displayed:
Drill Down: This option allows you to drill down the chart based on the drill down path configured during report creation.
Drill Down By: This option allows you to dynamically select any column to drill down on the chart.
In this example, we are going to see how to drill down a chart using the Drill Down By option.
Select the column by which you wish to drill down.
On selecting the required option, the chart will be drilled down and the drill down path will be listed as a breadcrumb at the top of the report.
Note
It will be available only if the user who has shared the dashboard with you has granted the Drill down permission for you while sharing the dashboard.
Zoho Analytics allows you to change the chart type of individual charts in a dashboard using the Change Chart Type option at the top right corner of each report.
Note: This change will only be reflected for the current session, and cannot be saved. To permanently change the chart type of a report, use the Open in new tab option to open the report, and modify it as needed.
You can maximize the embedded report to view in full dashboard layout by following the below steps.
Click the Maximize icon in the top left corner of the report, or double-click the report header.
The report will open in full dashboard layout and displayed along with the user filters. In this mode, clicking the Edit icon at the top right corner of the report will open the report editor in a new tab.
To minimize the report, you can either double-click the report header again, or click the Minimize icon.
