Working With PMF Views

Drill-Down Menus

When you click a hyperlinked item in a PMF view, a pop-up menu displays drill-down options to display other related views. Drill-down menu options can be accessed from multiple views, providing a different display of data depending on the view from which the option is accessed and the underlying metric associated with the drill-down hyperlink.

In some PMF views, there are drill-down menu options to reformat a view to display a different dimension of the associated data. For example, if you select the drill-down option Show by Month in the Detail Data view, the resulting view aggregates and displays the data in a monthly format based on measure linkages in the Time dimension.
