Can you make a default selection in drill down

[trdandamudi]

I have a variable vType and the value is 'Y'. In my bar chart I have a drill down button with 4 levels like Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4. What I want is when the dash board open, in this particular chart I need the default to be Level 2 instead of 1. Can this be done ?

Not sure whether there is any straight way. What I will do is I will make the Level2 selection and create a bookmark at this point. Then create a document trigger to apply bookmark on open. This will achieve the requirement. find the attached testing example in that I created a bookmark to lock DIM2 as default selection.

Hi,

In the listbox->select Level 2 ->Properties->General->Always one selected value.

so that all the time the level will be level 2

Thanks for the quick reply. I am aware of the bookmark technique but I am looking for more straight forward and simple solution. Because this chart will be on the server and we are having issue with bookmarks.

Thanks

Sasi,

The question is not about list box and it is for drill down.

Thanks

Hi,

1)

For default selection in only one chart, create one alternate state.

Assign the alternate state to the required chart.

if the level2 was coming from any field, then create one list box select Level 2 ->Properties->General->Always one selected value.

Once done the selection will pass only to the chart having same alternate state. Once if you can see the selection was passing now you can delete the list box.

2)

In chart expression, you can define the level 2 in the condition
