Custom Item Interactivity

You can implement such interactivity as master filter and drill-down for custom dashboard items. The corresponding buttons appear in the Data ribbon tab page’s Interactivity group for a custom item.

Refer to the following tutorial for more information on how to configure master filter and drill-down for the custom Funnel item: Create an Interactive Data-Aware Item for the WinForms Dashboard.
