For example, imagine that a user is viewing the
sales for a particular product on a particular day. How many individual orders were placed that day?
There is no way to tell from the view as described, but using Show Details will show the individual records
that contribute to that value. This is useful in many cases, but at high levels there can be millions of
records contributing to a number. Fortunately, PerformancePoint will only show the first 1,000 records
and give the user a message that there are more available. In addition, this feature only works if the
cube designers have created a Drillthrough action. Also, Drillthrough actions only work with regular
measures, not calculated measures such as Gross Profit.
Additional
Actions
Additional Actions might be built into the cube, and these actions can be tied to members, levels, or
an entire dimension. Take, for example, the case where a company is dealing with chemicals. On an
individual chemical, an action might exist that launches an internal site that contains information about
that chemical, including its safe handling procedures and what to do in the case of accidental exposure.
While Show Details will call the Drillthrough action a cube, the actual will also show up here as well, along
with any other actions that have been defined.
Sort The Sort option will sort the current data either by the series or bottom axis data. The sort can be from
largest to smallest or smallest to largest. In addition, users can remove the sorting here.
