What is drill-down functionality?

• A. It is a feature that exports a report to CSV
• B. It is a security feature that restricts access to underlying data
• C. It is a function that lets you drill into a report to see the list of clients related to a specific figure
• D. It is a feature that aggregates data at higher levels

Answer: (C)

Drill-down functionality means you can move from a summarized figure in a report to the underlying details that compose that figure. In HMIS reports, this lets you click on a total or summary value and see the specific records behind it, such as the list of clients who contribute to that figure. This is exactly what the described option conveys: a function that lets you drill into a report to view the list of clients related to a specific figure. It’s different from exporting a report to CSV, which merely creates a file, from security features that restrict data, or from aggregating data at higher levels, which hides details rather than revealing them.
