Drill-down reporting is easily accomplished with PerfectApps. In fact, it works automatically for certain objects placed within the same report. The following reporting object properties control drill-down:
•Can set dynamic filter - This option tells PerfectApps that any click within the selected reporting object will be broadcast to all other objects on the report. Unchecking this option means no drill-down occurs when the object is clicked.
•Respect dynamic filter - This option tells PerfectApps that any drill-down event broadcast from another reporting object will be respected, so the object filters its own data accordingly. Unchecking this option means the object will not respond to a drill-down event from another object.
•Override previous filter - By default, each object that you click on for a drill-down remains in effect when subsequent objects are selected. In other words, the drill-downs you select are cumulative. However, you may want a drill-down selection to clear all other existing drill-down filters before performing its own drill-down. In this case, you would select the Override previous filter checkbox.
Wildcards
You can use an asterisk (*) to perform a wildcard search. Searching is not case-sensitive. If you do not use a wildcard, PerfectApps appends one automatically.
•* Looks for any number of characters from that point onwards (Do*) or before that point (*Doe)
•? Matches any single character (J?hn Doe).
