Describe the function of a DRILL LINK in Microstrategy.
Drill links are selectable connections from text fields or images in one document to other documents, HTML documents, or reports. Drill links can pass parameters to answer prompts in the target. When you click the object (text or image) associated with a drill link in the document, you can see its target.
A drill link contains the event to be triggered (such as executing a document or exporting a report) and the ID of the document, report, or HTML document to be executed. You could define a drill link on an attribute element in a document. When clicked, a report is executed using the attribute element in the prompt. Additionally, the drill link can pass information to the target to answer prompts in the target. This information can be one or both of the following:
• Existing prompt answers from the source document
• Selected attributes from the source document
