When you create custom reports, you register a root report. You can create and associate drilldown reports to data entries in the root report or data entries in other drilldown reports.

For example, you might have a report that collects information about the number tasks per each status. You can associate a drilldown report to the number of Closed tasks. The drilldown report contains the number of Closed tasks for each user. You can also associate a drilldown report to the number of Approved tasks. The drilldown report contains the number of Approved tasks for each user.

In

Data Director

, users might see a parent chart that shows the number of tasks per each status. Then when they select the number of Closed tasks, they drill down to a drilldown chart that shows the number of Closed tasks for each user.

The following image shows the drilldown report structure:
