Set Drill into URL

On dashboards, you can add drill interactions to your visualizations which will link the user to any URL you want. The URL can be made dynamic through the use of Visualization and Identifier parameters that change depending on what part of the visualization you click.

In this example, you will add a drill interaction to a metric. The same procedure can be used to add a drill interaction to an attribute.

Steps:

  1. Edit your dashboard and click on the visualization that you want to set up a drill path for.

    The options menu opens.

  2. Select Interactions.

    The visualization Product Categories is selected. The Interactions option is highlighted in the menu opened via the ellipsis button in the top-right corner of the visualization.

  3. Click + Add interaction and select the metric you would like to drill in on.

    The Interactions dialog with the Add interaction button clicked. This opens the When I click on dialog, where a metric labeled % Order Amount is selected under Value of metric.

  4. In the first dropdown menu, select Drill into URL.

    In the second dropdown menu, select Add custom URL.

    The I want to section of the Interactions dialog is expanded. Drill into URL is selected from the first dropdown, and Add custom URL is highlighted in the second.

    The Add custom URL dialog opens.

  5. Create a URL you want to drill into and click Apply. Note that you may use parameters from the right side of the dialog to create a context-dependent URL.

    The Edit custom URL dialog with a URL defined using a dynamic parameter attribute_title-products.category. The Apply button is in the lower right.

    The parameters can be:

    In the Parameters dialog, the attribute labeled Category is highlighted.
    • The value of an active visualization attribute filter that was set when creating the visualization in the Analytical Designer. Date filters are not supported.
    In the Parameters dialog, the visualization attribute filter labeled Category is highlighted.
    In the Parameters dialog, the dashboard attribute filter labeled Category is highlighted.
    • The ID of the visualization or the ID of the dashboard or workspace it is part of.
    In the Parameters dialog, the identifiers section with Insight ID, Dashboard ID, and Workspace ID is highlighted.

  6. Save & Publish your changes.

    Notice that if you hover over the visualization now, you are able to click on a metric to drill in on it.
