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.

Absolutely! So annoying that this isn't a feature.

Please add this feature. Major pain point to have to do this for every report with multiple drilldown sections over and over again.

We would really like to have this functionality in place, it is becoming important for some of our key development areas, thanks!

I don't want to force my clients to have to keep clicking the drilldown button. And I'd like to avoid the anger and confusion when they think the drilldowns we promised them aren't there.

Would be useful to be able to select then save then publish and it persists. Reporting for end users is about making it user friendly not having them need to click the drill down button every time that they go to the report.

Very important - training issue with nearly all end users

RE: Drill Mode By Default

Actually - I propose a hybrid mode where both modes are available. Drill down would be activated by a double-click, standard filter with single click. Or drill down/up icons by each value where drill down is available.

RE: Drill Mode By Default

Without being able to set default mode users have little idea how do anything meaningful with the visualisations
