Hello IBP community,
I have a customer requirement. They want to create a dashboard where we could easily dig down on multiple levels of details, imagine something like this.
Let's say that for each analytic in my dashboard, I want to be able to look at each of them at any of these levels.
With the newest 2008 release, we can finally do drill downs within a dashboard, which now leads me to the next question, performance wise is it the best option to do this?
I can think of three options to do it:
My question comes performance wise, In my head Option 1 is the easier to do, but can be the worst performance wise. This is because if I include ten charts in a dashboards but I manage it with a cascading filter structure, every time I change a filter, the dashboard will update all 10 charts at the same time.
If I create multiple drill downs level 1, with 2008 release I have the possibility to drill down one at a time, plus I could also use the filters if I wanted to, but I have a second option.
And then is option 3 one that looks like the worst of them because of the number charts in a dashboard.
I feel tempted to recommend option 1 because it's easier and less complicated to maintain, but wanted to opinion of the community on this.
Also do you visualize other ways to do it?
Thanks!
