Step 1: Define Dashboards

“select top 5 f1.ProductId, sum(f1.QtyOrdered) as Sales from ForecastProductRelation f, ForecastSalesHistory f1 where f1.PlantId = '0' and f.PlantId = '0' and f1.ProductId = f.ChildProductId and f.ParentProductId = 'Analgesic' and f1.OrderDate > '2014-01-01' group by f1.ProductId order by Sales desc”
· Once the Query is entered, the User has to specify the Constrains for X-axis and Y-axis. Then the Chart appears as per the Query.
· After the User Query, Define Query for Drill Down Properties.
· Drill Down Query will show the changes made in the Chart or Grid type and any other information in the main Dashboard Screen.

“select fs.ProductId, fs.QtyOrdered as Sales from ForecastSalesHistory fs, ForecastRegionDetail fr where fs.PlantId = '0' and fr.ParentRegionId = 'SOUTH' and fs.OrderDate >= '2011/01/01' and fs.PlantId = fr.PlantId and fs.RegionId = fr.ChildRegionId and fs.ProductId='[PV_PARAM1]'”
