public interface WebDrillAction

This interface is used to hold the drill actions for report drilling. A drill action can be one of the types listed under EnumDSSXMLDrillType A WebDrillAction object can be used to represent drill actions of type DrillFixTemplate, DrillToDetails. Its subclasses can be used for drill actions of remaining types : [1] WebRemoveMetricDrillAction for DrillRemoveMetric, [2] WebGraphCoordinatesDrillAction for DrillToGraphCoordinates, [3] WebNewObjectDrillAction for DrillToMetric, DrillToTemplate, DrillToRemoveUnit, DrillToUnit, DrillToChild, DrillToParent, [4] WebNewFormsDrillAction for DrillToForm.
