[CASE-OPENED] Drill Menu item from report passed to frames causes performance issue
Hi,

We are in the process of developing a dashboard that first generates a summary report with the options offices/user selected and that report has a drill menu consisting of 6 options.
When drilled on each drill menu item it takes us to a second fex which consists of 5 reports in a single frame below the summary report.

As per my research on the forums, it was stated in few posts that it isn't possible to pass the drill menu item to five different frames so had to create one frame which is causing a performance issue for the users as the 5 reports
run one after the other.

I was trying to figure out a work around as in giving a dropdown option to the user to select a report to run after selecting on the drill item so that the performance is improved by running one report at a time. The issue though is that the drill value being passed is lost when the user runs the drill down fex
again after selecting the report needed from the dropdown.

Please suggest, thanks for your help.

Not sure if this will meet your needs, but in the past I have used Javascript call from drilldown to populate a hidden control on the parent page and then call execute on multiple iframes that use that control to populate parameters.

This was a lot easier in Dev Studio HTML where you could just add new "requests" to the request list.

App Studio has more abilities but they do take some getting used to (and quite a bit of luck to get working correctly)

Cheers
