Drilling Down on Graph Elements

With graph elements that are enabled for drill down, you can drill down to and view another HTML Web page or MetaViewApplet graph.

There are two ways to drill down on your graph; your graph may be enabled for one or both ways.

Drilling down on a hot spot

• To determine whether a graph element has a hot spot that you can drill down on, move your mouse over the graph element. If it is enabled for drill down, then hyperlink or metacode reference information is displayed in the status line at the bottom of your browser window.

• To drill down on the hot spot, move your mouse over the hot spot and press the first mouse button.

Drilling down with a pop-up menu

If your graph's pop-up menu contains user-defined drill-down options for a specific graph element, then you can use those options to drill down on that graph element.

• Position your mouse over the drill-down-enabled graph element.
• Select the drill-down option that you want.

Paging through graphs that you drill down into

Certain graphs enable you to page back and forth through the graphs that you have drilled into. If your graph is enabled in this way, then the graph's pop-up menu will contain the Back and Forward menu options.
