A custom drill-down is a set of preconfigured dashboards through which the user can drill. The custom drill path can include a variety of widget types and display settings to optimize the investigative process while allowing the user to select the item(s) on which to drill. For example, the custom drill-down might start with a comparison of regions and then go to a pie chart of brands for a particular region followed by a list of products within a brand for that region. Drilling on a dashboard in a custom drill-down opens the next dashboard or "step" that includes a filter for the drilled item(s). Users can drill on different items each time they use the custom drill-down. This option is like the storyboards feature in SIM.
Custom drill-downs must be created in edit mode by a Dashboard Designer. All dashboards in a custom drill-down must be published.
