Drill through - Go from one detail page to another without going back to the master page?

Hi all,

We can set up a master-detail with drill through, even with multiple detail pages.

A user would then need to do the following:

  1. On the MASTER-page: select a record from a table, and drill through to the desired detail page (say "detail A");
  2. On the DETAIL-page, click the back button to go to the MASTER again.
  3. From the (same) selected record in the table, drill through to another DETAIL-page ("detail B").
  4. ...

But what if we want the following behaviour?

  1. On the MASTER-page: select a record from a table, and drill through to the desired detail page (say "detail A");
  2. From here ("detail A"), click on a "button" (or something else) to go to another DETAIL-page (eg "detail B") with details from the same previously selected record on the MASTER-page. So without going back to the MASTER-page first.

In fact, we would like to add the orange arrows as functionality (the blue ones are the standard scenario mentioned above):

For now, I have not been able to find any solution for this...

Any ideas, tips, solutions...?

Thanks in advance!

David

This was perfect, helped a lot!  The chiclet slicer also solved one of the issues I've been having with filter not resetting to a default value that applies to a new dataset from another slicer!

@ddk, we can drill through from any page to any page. As long as the drill contains the columns in the drill though column used in the other page

Thanks for answering Amit.

It wouldn't really be a real drill through from "detail A" to "detail B", but rather pure navigation from A to B, with B being a drill through from the MASTER (using the same selection)...

I have added the drill through column on "detail B": it works starting from the MASTER, but not from "detail A"...

Actually, drill through from A to B works, but I need to make a selection again somewhere on page A. I would like to just navigate to B without selection.

Maybe drill through is not the way to go?
