So we can add fields that we want to drill through and tick to "Keep all Filters" EXCEPT those filters we put in the "Exclude drill- through here" box.

RE: Drill Through - Keep SOME filters - add an "Exclude drill-through here" box

Excluding a category drill through filter from bookmark is very important for major report implementations in our organization.A short example from our work:Think of a report page that uses a Bookmark Navigator with the options of the last Month/Year/All .The bookmark effects visual-level filters for Date filters and the drill level of line charts.The report page is hidden, and the access to it is only through a category drill through.Now Let's assume that the category is the department name. When Drilling through the page, the department name a presented and the expected behavior is that it will stay constant, regardless on the bookmark selection. however, the changing the bookmark resets also the department name.There is currently no workaround for this common scenario.The general solution may be a "Lock for bookmark" option for any filter. A more specific solution can be implementing this option only for category drill through filter. And there is also option to change the generic report behavior from the options menu.In summarize, when designing a bookmark filter state, drill through filters must be excluded in order to achieve the expected behavior.Please vote (:Arnon
