Drill Down Options

Hi Guys,

I have a list of options (yes/no) I will like to be able to drill down into on the data explorer.

So for example:-

Cat one Type
Van
Car

Type two
Transit (type of van)
ford (type of car)

Type three

Escort (Type of Ford, Type of Cat)

I would like when I first open dataexplorer for only Cat one options to be avaliable, Then when I click on an option, only the relivant options from cat 2 to show. And then the same into level 3.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

Dave

Not presently. You can achieve a 2-tier drill-down using filters for the type one, selection in a view for type two, and displaying the resulting data using a view with Data Subset set to "Selected data".

I have reclassified this as an idea - please vote. In short:

Hierarchical multi-field category filter, as a tree of checkboxes;
or, contextual filters, which show/hide options according to their availability given other active filters.

Dave - The Chart View allows you to specify hierarchies such that selecting and keeping one category brings up the next level down:

Chart View: View Tools > Tools > Hierarchies

You can show just the one top level field...not perfect visualisation, but works...
