Data drilldown is an operation, which enables the user to move through the data levels: from drilled up to drilled down. Available drilldown depth is determined by the hierarchy of the data source dimensions.

If the drilldown is available for a bubble, its context menu contains the Drill Down item.

To drill down data:

• Select the Drill Down item in the bubble's context menu.

• Double-click the object.

Drillup is an operation, which enables the user to move from the drilled down to the drilled up data.

To drill up data:

• Select the Drill Up context menu item of the bubble.

• Hold down the SHIFT key and double-click the bubble to be drilled up.

When data drilldown/drillup is executed, parent/child elements of the corresponding dimension level are selected.

To display the initial selection specified on the Selection side panel tab or using controls, after executing data drilldown/drillup select the Go Back to Original State item in the bubble's context menu.

If data drilldown/drillup are executed during several times, and dimension selection changes during one of the iterations, selecting the Return to Original State item and executing the repeated data drilldown/drillup displays not the initial selection but the last specified selection.

If data drilldown/drillup results in the level with no data, one should select the Return to Original State item in the bubble's context menu.

NOTE. The Go Back to Original state item is available in the Analytical Queries (OLAP), Dashboards tools when selection is changed and then data is drilled down/drilled up. If data is not drilled down/drilled up after the selection was changed, the command will be unavailable.

To exclude data, select the Exclude item in the bubble's context menu.

To exclude all data, except for the selected bubble data, select the Exclude the Rest item in the bubble's context menu.

NOTE. The option is available if the Timeline role is used for calendar dimension.

To manage displaying of timeline, use the checkbox in the title of the Time Line side panel tab:

• To display the timeline, select the checkbox.

• To hide a timeline, deselect the checkbox.

By default, the timeline is displayed on a bubble chart.

To display a bubble trace, use the Timeline side panel tab.

To set up bubble chart style, use the Bubble Chart ribbon tab.

Animation shows dynamics of observation objects by the selected metrics over a certain period of time. A timeline shown in the bottom part of the bubble chart is used to work with animation.

To play timeline animation, click the button, to pause animation, click the button. To navigate along the timeline, use:

• The left and right buttons in the web application.

• The slider in the desktop application.

To zoom in the bubble chart scroll up, to zoom out scroll down.

In the web application when selection in the dimension with the Observation Objects role changes that is used to set the number of chart bubbles, the default scale is restored.

The user can move along the plot area of the zoomed in bubble chart by clicking the left mouse button while holding down the CTRL key.
