Hello,

I am currently attempting to add a drilldown to one of my dashboards. The confusion however is:

- Is there a way to specify which column the drilldown option works on in a table? Say, i have 4 columns and I only want the drilldown option on one of them.
- Given there are multiple filters on the table i want to attach the drilldown, is it possible that I only choose a specific field that filters the second dashboard (the one drilldown redirects to)?

Hello,

Are you using something similar to these situations?

Yes, i am. I was following the drill down approach to make it interactive.

To be more specific, let's say my dashboard #1 has a table that shows three fields for every row. Now this table has a filter set and the entire dashboard has a separate one set as well.  
What I want to do is that when I click on one of the values, say a task ID (one of the fields of the table), the drilldown should take me to my dashboard #2 but only as the task ID as a filter for the linked dashboard (ignoring all other filters).
