Diving on Data Values

The DiveTab client gives the option to dive on specific data values. This means viewing the related dimension information for a single data value. There are four ways to dive:

  • On a Summary column value—This involves selecting a linked column cell. This is configured by the developer.
  • On a Dive Dimension value—This involves selecting a dimension value from a column with a yellow heading.
  • On a Dimension value—This involves selecting the dive icon in the same cell.
  • On a Chart—This involves selecting a linked chart value. This is configured by the developer.

The style of diving for a particular tabular page is determined by the developer.

NOTE: Diving on column cells is configured by the developer.
