Drill through context based on button text

Dear community,

 

have 16 servers. For all servers, I'm creating an overview where each server is listed with some details (CPU rate, storage usage etc.). And I have a detailed site where I show the history and some more facts of the last 7 days of the servers; this is my drill through page. 

 

In order to display all the servers, I have added blank buttons and added the name of the server as a text to the button. When the button is pushed, I want to automatically switch the the detailed server page and filter everything based on the button text. So the context of the drill through is equals to the button text. 

 

How can I achieve this? 


I already added the drill through option to the button, but it is not working yet:

Server name at button text:

At the detailed server site, I have a slicer with all server names which is the target of the drill through and should filter all other visuals on the detailed page:

Thanks for your support!

Hi @Eleandro ,

 

Using drillthrough, you need to drill from a data point to the target page.

Please set the drill through filter option on the target page and select the target page as destination.

Don't create  buttons for each server. Create a single drillthrough button, and put a table visual next to is with the server names, Now, when you select a single server you can click the drillthrough button.

 

You may want to consider using Tooltip Pages instead though. That way you can show the same information when hovering over the server entries in the table, without the need to click anything.
