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.
