It should be good if we can set Drill Mode ON/OFF by DEFAULT instead of clicking manually on the arrow every time on report.

RE: Drill Mode By Default

Hey! I created an idea which is sort of related to this called 'Drill navigation by mouse'. In my opinion a single mouse click should retain same functionality, but a double mouse click should be the same as drilling down. This will actually give you more flexibility and there would not be a real need for a 'default' mode.

If you agree, please vote for that idea! :)

RE: Drill Mode By Default

This is the number one feedback I currently receive from my end users. We really need a way to set a default for drill mode settings in a per-visual basis!

Agreed, "must-have" feature.

RE: Drill Mode By Default

At least let the creator of the report set the drill mode!

RE: Drill Mode By Default

This would help me very much. I work with sales people who will constantly forget they have to click on that little arrow.

RE: Drill Mode By Default

Yes, please. It's counter-intuitive to not have the setting be persistent.

RE: Drill Mode By Default

I've got some users who will struggle to remember to turn it on each time. So frustrating that my reports are saved with Drill Mode on, but then have to be turned on every time they are opened in the Service.

RE: Drill Mode By Default

Agreed that this is more of an annoyance. I love the drill down functionality. Alternatively you could enable drill down for the whole dashboard (or file) with one click instead of clicking on each visualization.

RE: Drill Mode By Default

This feature is required as every time on the drill down is very annoying.
