5.7.4 Displaying a drilldown report

This subsection describes how to display a drilldown report associated with the displayed report based on drilldown report types.

The drilldown report types are as follows:

Report-level drilldown report

This displays a report from another report.

Field-level drilldown report

This displays the details of a report.

This also displays a drilldown report that is automatically set for time item fields.

About displaying a drilldown report:

A drilldown report is displayed in a separate window from that of the parent report. You can further open another drilldown report from a parent report while displaying a drilldown report, and can open a drilldown report from the drilldown report itself. If you close the parent report window by using Close, the drilldown report window also closes accordingly. However, processing other than closing the window is not reflected in the drilldown report window.

Organization of this subsection

(1) Displaying a report-level drilldown report by specifying the report name

(2) Displaying a field-level drilldown report from the report area

(3) Displaying a drilldown report (automatic settings) with the time item specification

(4) Displaying the conditions for a drilldown report

(1) Displaying a report-level drilldown report by specifying the report name

If a report-level drilldown report is set, the pull-down menu and the Display Reports menu are displayed on the menu bar of the report window. The number of drilldown reports displayed in the pull-down menu might vary according to the parent report.

To display a report-level drilldown report, select the report from the pull-down menu and click the Display Reports menu. Note that the reports registered in bookmarks and combination bookmarks appear as drilldown reports in the pull-down menu.

The following figure shows an example of a report for which a drilldown report is set:

(2) Displaying a field-level drilldown report from the report area

Clicking the field of a table, list, or graph in the report window, displays the field-level drilldown report associated with that field.

This subsection describes how to display a field-level drilldown report from a table, list, and graph.

(a) Displaying a field-level drilldown report from a table

Click a table value to display the field-level drilldown report. The available table values are displayed as linked.

(b) Displaying a field-level drilldown report from the item name of a list

Click an item name in a list to display the field-level drilldown report. The available item names of the list are displayed as linked.

(c) Displaying a field-level drilldown report from a graph area

Click a graph area to display a field-level drilldown report. To display a field-level drilldown report from a graph area, when you define the report you need to define the drilldown report for a field displayed in the graph.

(d) Information inherited from the parent to a drilldown report

When displaying the drilldown report from the report area, information inherited from the parent by a drilldown report might differ according to the combination of report types. Tables 5-3 and 5-4 describe the information inherited from the parent by a drilldown report.

Table 5-2 Inherited information (parent report consists of multiple agents)

Drilldown report	When multiple agents are specified (historical reports only)	When a single agent is specified
Data collection period	Date and Time information of the clicked data row	Historical report: Same as shown on the left Realtime report: Does not inherit information
Agent type	Clicked row of the table, page of list, or agent of the graph area	Agent selected when displaying the parent report
Report interval	Report definition of the drilldown report Changed value when changed by specify-when-displayed setting	Historical report: Same as shown on the left Realtime report: Does not inherit information

Note: Information is only inherited by a drilldown report when the parent is a report. Information is not inherited by reports registered in bookmarks and combination bookmarks.

Table 5-3 Inherited information (parent report is a single agent)

Drilldown report	When multiple agents are specified (historical reports only)	When a single agent is specified
Data collection period	Date and Time information of the clicked data row	Historical report: Same as shown on the left Realtime report: Does not inherit information
Agent type	Agent selected when displaying the parent report#
Report interval	Report definition of the drilldown report Changed value when changed by specify-when-displayed setting	Historical report: Same as shown on the left Realtime report: Does not inherit information

Note: Information is only inherited by a drilldown report when the parent is a report. Information is not inherited by reports registered in bookmarks and combination bookmarks.

#

When the drilldown report is of a single agent, even if both parent and drilldown reports are multi-instances, the instances are not automatically inherited. If the instance needs to be inherited, set the field value in the drilldown condition settings of the parent report.

(3) Displaying a drilldown report (automatic settings) with the time item specification

When a table is displayed, the Date and Time field (Record Time field for a realtime report) is added to the first and last columns. If the report target record is a PI record and the data retrieval interval is defined other than in minutes, you can display the drilldown report (automatic settings) by selecting the time in the Date and Time or Record Time field.

The drilldown report (automatic settings) displayed by the time item specification is the same as the report definition of the parent report. However, the value of the selected Date and Time or Record Time is set for the Start time of the drilldown report, the Report interval is one step more detailed than the parent report. For example, if the Report interval of the parent report is Hour, the Report interval of the drilldown report is Minute.

Note:

Only historical reports allow you to display the drilldown report from a time item.

(4) Displaying the conditions for a drilldown report

The drilldown report is displayed after filtering with the following display conditions:

1. Filter conditions defined in the parent report for the drilldown report display
2. Filter conditions defined in the drilldown report for the drilldown report display
3. Report display conditions defined as Specify when displayed (SPECIFY_WHEN_DISPLAYED) in the drilldown report
   The first and second conditions have a different priority. Even if the second filter condition is defined with fixed value in the drilldown report, the first filter condition defined in the parent report has precedence.
