Please allow Drill Through to the same report #28

Open shemgp opened 5 years ago

shemgp commented 5 years ago

It would be nice to be able to have a drill through that will refresh only the current report and not go to a different report. Currently, if I add a drill through and point it to the current report, I still need to click refresh to be able to update the other chart's data.

Thank you developing this software.

Thanks for using Poli. May I know what's the use case for drilling into the current report? Could you try add filters to the current report and use them to control what's displayed in other charts?

Yes, filters can function almost the same way but drill through is more intuitive since you don't need to find the items in the filter.

Here's a sample use case: first chart on the report displays enrollment count per semester. At the bottom, i want to show a char with enrollment per department per selected semester. Instead of adding a semester filter that will have many items, it would be nice if the use could just click the sem in the first chart and the 2nd chart will update. Also, i dont like it to go to another report as it might confuse the users how to go back.
