Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set the target dashboard's token to accept the drilldown value
Options D and E are correct because for a drilldown from one chart to another dashboard, you must set the source chart's drilldown action to 'link to dashboard' (option E) and configure the target dashboard to accept a token from the drilldown (option D). Option A is incorrect because adding a search command is not required for drilldowns. Option B is incorrect because 'link to search' opens a search, not a dashboard. Option C is not necessary; while dashboard permissions control access, they are not part of the drilldown configuration.
