Launched: Drill-through in Canvas Dashboard 🕵️‍♂️

Launched: Drill-through in Canvas Dashboard :man_detective:

We’re thrilled to announce the ​Drill-through ​is now available for Canvas Dashboard! This allows viewers to dig deeper into data by navigating to related dashboards, offering detailed insights on demand.

How to get started

Similar to Drill-through in Dashboard (Legacy), analysts can set up Drill-through in the Canvas Dashboard by enabling the Drill-through toggle in the filters.

In addition, we also introduce further configurations that give you more control over designing the drill paths. Specifically, you have two modes:

Auto (default)

  • Automatically links all source dashboards containing widgets from the same dataset as filters on the target dashboards.
  • Disabled dashboard option: You can exclude specific dashboards from drill-through even if they contain relevant widgets. This is useful for dashboards that might technically qualify but aren’t contextually relevant.

Custom

  • Allows you to specify which dashboards should be linked to target dashboards manually. Holistics will only link the custom dashboards you select to target dashboards.
  • Gives you precise control over drill-through behavior.

For more detailed information, check out our documentation: Drill-through | Holistics Docs (4.0)

Amazing, we’re super excited for this functionality, thank you so much!

One minor note: It seems like filter values for fields not in the visualization getting passed from the source filters to the target filters is not working when testing out during coding, but it does work after publishing so fixing is non-urgent.

@Theodore just wanted to flag the potential bug I mentioned in my last post on this thread related to this release to make sure it got attention. It would be super helpful to get this fixed so we don’t have to deploy changes just to test canvas drill-throughs (not ideal :grimacing:). Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi @anya.conti,

Thank you for flagging the issue. However, we couldn’t reproduce it on our end. Would you mind sending us a ticket, along with screenshots or recordings of the issue if possible? This would help us investigate more thoroughly.

Again, thank you so much :smile:

Submitted a ticket with videos. Thanks!
