🗓️Date Drill

The date Drill feature allows you to view your dashboard tiles at the same level of date. With a click, you can go from seeing monthly data to say quarterly or yearly data on your dashboard. In addition to the Drill feature on individual tiles, the Date Drill feature enables you to understand your data and trends at different granularity at the dashboard level.
