Drilldown options

Drill-down options specify how a Drilldown window opens. The drill-down options apply to applications in which both the Location field and the Asset field on a record are blank. The options also apply to the Open Drilldown action in the Assets application.

The standard drill-down function includes two options:
Top Level Starts at Top Level Location (Start at Top Location in Primary System)
The Drilldown window opens to the Location tab, and begins with the top-level location of the primary system. This option is useful for organizations with many asset records that use location hierarchies to organize these records.
Top Level Starts at Top Level Asset (Show All Assets without Parent)
The Drilldown window opens to the Asset tab. This option is useful when asset records are organized into a hierarchy with a few top-level asset records. If the organization has many top-level asset records, selecting this option might slow or hinder performance when you display the records.

If you enable the extended drill-down view that displays both assets and locations in a single hierarchy, the Drilldown window does not display tabs. For related information, see Extended drill-down view for assets displays top-level system location when an asset is blank.
