1. What is your idea?

I'd like to create a drill through that returns * fields of a table/view by referencing one or many Board objects in the web client.  Right now I have to individually specify each field that is returned by a drill-through instead of a simple SELECT * query.

2. What specific problem are you trying to find a solution to, or what new scenario would this idea respond to?

  • Reduce time spent creating and maintaining drill throughs
  • limit impact on drill through if table or view structure is changed
  • align on functionality available in the windows client
  • Allow more flexibility with more complicated SQL queries used in drill-throughs.

3. What workaround have you found and used so far (if any)?

  • Use the Windows client
  • Specify each field individually instead of a SELECT * statement

 4. What is your role in your organization?

I'm a consultant in the organization.

  • Thank you for sharing your idea, Eric. We appreciate the time and effort you put into crafting your suggestion.

    This feature is already available, you can create a drill through that returns * fields of a table/view by referencing one or many Board objects in the web client.
