Drill-down reporting is easily accomplished with PerfectApps. In fact, it works automatically with certain objects that are placed within the same report. Drill-down is controlled by the following reporting object properties:
•Can set dynamic filter - This option tells PerfectApps that any click within the selected reporting object should be broadcast to all other objects on the report. Unchecking this option means no drill-down will occur as a result of a click on the object.
•Respect dynamic filter - This option tells PerfectApps that any drill-down event broadcast from another reporting object should be respected and so it will filter its data. Unchecking this option means that this object will not respond to a drill-down event in another object.
•Override Previous - 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 check the Override Previous box.
Wildcards
You can use an asterisk (*) to perform a wildcard search. Searching is not case sensitive. You should note that if you do not use a wildcard, PerfectApps will automatically append one when searching.
