Drilldown, Drillthrough, and Tooltips

Swipe to show menu

This chapter covers three interactivity features that let viewers explore data in depth without cluttering the main dashboard: drilldown, drillthrough, and custom tooltips.

You'll build a drillable bar chart using a three-level product hierarchy (Category > SubCategory > ProductName), create a dedicated drillthrough page that surfaces when a viewer right-clicks any category bar, and design a custom tooltip page that appears as a popup when hovering over monthly data points. Each feature adds a layer of depth to the Summit Gear dashboard while keeping the main pages clean and focused.

1. You want to create a drillthrough page that appears when a viewer right-clicks a Category bar in a chart. What must you add to the drillthrough page to make this work?

2. You create a tooltip page and add visuals to it, but the page does not appear as an option when you try to set a custom tooltip on a chart. What step did you most likely miss?
