## Drill into data

After you add a visualization to the dashboard, you can configure drilling for that visualization. Drilling is not available for KPIs.

You can drill into the following targets:

- **Visualization**
- **Dashboard**
- **URL**

After you configure drilling, clicking a fact, metric, or attribute in View mode opens the target visualization, dashboard, or URL. You can set up multiple drilling options for the same visualization. For example, you can configure drilling into both a visualization and a dashboard.
