I'm trying to create a graph with drill down capabilities in WF8. I am not having any luck. Is there any place where I can look for a starting point?

Welcome to the forum.

Were you able to do this in 7.6 - but not in 8?

I am new to WF and starting on 8.

What a place to start.

Not everyone is on 8, you may have to talk to Techsupport if you don't get an answer here.

Can you post the code ? or a repro with the CAR file or something.

New to WebFOCUS also?

Yes, also new to WebFOCUS.

My drill down is now working using this code.

TYPE=DATA,
ACROSSCOLUMN=N1,
TARGET='_BLANK',
FOCEXEC=/Manager_Projects_Bar.fex ( \
PROJECT_MANAGER=N1 \
),$

However, now my graph tool is crashing on this graph only. I believe editing the code is the cause. Any suggestions?

correct syntax:

 
TYPE=ACROSSVALUE,
     ACROSS=1,
     TARGET='_blank',
     FOCEXEC=Manager_Projects_Bar( \
     PROJECT_MANAGER=A1 \
     ),
$
 

If that doesn't work, something else is causing it to crash.

ACROSSVALUE

It isn't liking the ACROSSVALUE. The drilldown is not working now. I am not able to click on any segment of the chart.

Remove your drilldown and try to create it through the GUI.

I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do but there is ACROSSTITLE as well.

Where do I look to find the drill down option in the GUI? The reason I had changed the code was because I could not find a place to do it in the GUI.

When you add a field, look in the box at the bottom of the window. The display tab is selected. There is a button there labeled "Drill down..."

I guess the question is whether you are using graph assist or advanced graph assist.

I guess your graph syntax was correct. Are you doing advanced graph assist or graph assist? MRE or data servers?
-Try to reproduce with the CAR masterfile and see if you are getting the same error.
-If you are, post your code (between [ CODE ] [ /CODE ] Tags by clicking on the

button

Neither, WF8 uses InfoAssist and I can't seem to find a drill down function anywhere on here.

Looks like we are going to have a Version 8 learning curve here...

Oh... can you update your signature to include WF8? I can't help you then.
If that doesn't work in 8...

Just noticed it was set wrong. Thanks for your help. I'll keep looking

To create a drill down click on any measure field in your graph, then on the ribbon menu click on Hyperlink. You can define your drill down there.

Thanks. I got it working using the Hyperlink tool. Do you know where I can look to add a function to drill back up to the parent.

You should be able to just use the back button on the browser to get back to the parent or target a new page and keep the parent up in the original window.

Of course if its IE (at least IE 9), there is a twist. The user may need to hold the back button down and select the third option from the top (two "histories" ago).
