Default Drill Paths: System Hierarchy Drill Paths

Before customizing drilling options you need to understand how the default drill paths work.

An end user can drill from any object on a report, other than a simple metric. For example, drilling down from an attribute or a hierarchy allows a user to access other child attributes in the same hierarchy. Drilling from a consolidation allows access to the attributes that make up the consolidation. Note that by default in these types, drilling changes a report by navigating through the drill hierarchies and selecting another attribute to view. The original object is replaced with the one drilled to. Drilling on a compound metric allows a user to view the metrics that compose it.
