About Drill Down Reporting
The Reporter supports drill down reporting in the WebAdmin. This allows users to click a specific slice, bar, or country to drill down into a group and display the next grouping's results for that specific section. This only applies to reports with multiple summary groups.
It should be noted that you can drill down into Pie, Map, and Bar Charts. Any other Summary Group Type can be drilled down to but you cannot drill down passed that point.
Time Lapse Viewing of Multiple Scheduled Reports
Multiple Scheduled Report instances can be viewed over time in a motion chart. This function only displays if there are more than one Scheduled Report.
You can select from an options popup to skip empty instances and repeat from the end.
There is a play button and slider that allows you to select instances to display.
