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.

We have improved this by allowing the drill action to take place inside the tooltip. Marking as completed. We will do more updates here but the initial item has been addressed.

Much needed! Our business customers don't want to play around with the tool to make it work. As a developer, it's our job is to make it seamless for them. Please incorporate if you want more businesses using your tool!

RE: Drill Mode By Default

this is definitely a gap. In absence of this feature the report behaves in a complete non desired fashion and cause lot of churn and confusion in the users mind who is acting on the report. Please prioritize this at the earliest.

RE: Drill Mode By Default

We absolutely need this feature. Its so difficult to find the drill down button on a mobile device!!!

I can't add more than is already here, but yes, this is very much needed!

RE: Drill Mode By Default

I agree that a default value should be set for this.. On mobile the route to toggle drill-down for each visualisation is stupidly verbose, so this would take care of that point.

With that said, I believe this should be set per visualisation, not for the page or report as a whole.

RE: Drill Mode By Default

Please, include this feature. It would be very helpful to have one single setting for all the visuals instead of set the arrow one by one.

RE: Drill Mode By Default

Agreed, with one caveout. There should be a setting for a tile in the dashboard which sets the behavior for click action on the tile. Does it
1. Drill down
2. Filter another visual on the same page
3. Hyperlink to a different page/dashboard (wishful)
