Interacting with Reports in the Classic Viewer
Filter, Brush, and Drill in Reports
Depending on the interactions
that were defined by the report designer, you might be able to interact
with your report in the following ways:
filter
restricts the data that is returned from a query to a data source. Click on data in the source report object to filter data in the target report object (or objects). Clicking on different data applies the filter based on the new data.
To clear the selection, right-click, and select Clear Selection.
brush
enables you to show the same data selected simultaneously in two or more tables, graphs,
or both. Click on data in the source report object to brush data in the target report
object (or objects). To clear the selection, right-click, and select Clear Selection.
enables you to move from summary information to more detailed data. If the data contains
hierarchies, you can double-click on the data to drill down the hierarchy into detailed information. When you
drill down the hierarchy, breadcrumbs at the top of the report object enable you to drill
back up the hierarchy.
View Links in Reports
Report objects can link to other report sections or whole reports. And, they can link
to external links. To view a link from a report object, double-click on the report
object. If there are multiple links or interactions from a report
object, then a list appears that enables you to select a link or interaction. When
you are viewing a link, the following buttons are displayed in the top left corner:

If a report object that you are linking to shares a data source with the current report
object, then the target report object is filtered based on the data value that you double-clicked. If you do not want the target report object to be filtered, you can click 
, and deselect Apply report link filters.
If the data source is not shared between the two report objects, then
no additional filtering takes place in the target report object.

A report object, text, or image can link to an info window within the same report.
The info window provides additional information. For example, a list table might provide
additional information for a bar chart. Or, there might be additional text about what is displayed in a report object. When
you double-click the data (for example, a bar, a bubble, a pie slice, a table row, and so on) in a report object that has an info window link, the info
window is displayed as a new window.
