Filter

Override previous filter

By default, each object that you click on for a drill-down filter 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 check the Override previous box.
