The ‘Drill Down’ functionality is only

applicable to ‘Filter Category’ widgets. Using

this functionality, you can explore the data

behind the saved search in that widget. ‘Drill

Down’ can be activated by clicking on a bar

that you want to get into. On clicking, you see

two options: Drill Down and News Feed.

Clicking on drill down results in the second

widget that you see above

Here we have applied ‘Drill Down’ to the widget

that was created in the last tutorial. We’ve clicked

in the bar which represent Big 4.

On doing so, you’re existing widget will

change to show how many Reports / Survey

have been published by individual Big 4

companies

Click ‘Go back’ to revert your widget to its

original state
