Hello, we have a drill down URL in one of our tables. These links work fine on the main GoodData dashboard. However, when embedded w/ React, the link shows as a link and the cursor changes to a "clicking hand" when hovering, but nothing happens when you click. Is there something we have to do to get the URLs to work when embedded?

Hello Michael, To add the drilling to your embedded analytics, you will need to specify at least one

drillableItem

. More details and examples can be found here.

Hey Ivana, I'm embedding a dashboard. Does that change things?

That shouldn't be an issue here, really. Please give it a chance a let me know how does it work for you.

OK, I see at the bottom of that page, it describes how to do this for dashboards. I'll try this. I feel compelled to say that this is confusing from a DX perspective: we specify drillable items as part of the dashboard itself... but we need to specify it again in React? Why?

I will say, from my own experience building a wrapper for the React embeds, it did feel confusing that Drill-to-URL didn't work out-of-the-box. However, it did enable me to create some funky workarounds for passing data onclick (e.g., if the URL starts with

data:

, don't navigate to the url, instead trigger an event and pass the url data along)

I'm still struggling on how to do this with the react

<Dashboard>

component. The directions I see are about adding an event listener for the "listeningForDrillableItems" event, and responding to that. However, I never see this event generated (no "gdc" events, period). I see plenty of other react events. Looking at the Typescript types for the dashboard component led me to add "enableKPIDashboardDrillToURL" as a prop, but it's still not working.

I used the <Dashboard>'s

eventHandlers

prop (takes

DashboardEventHandler<any>[]

). For drillToURL in particular,

{ eval: isDashboardDrillToCustomUrlResolved, handler: yourDrillToURLCallback }

. Pretty sure I just found that by sleuthing the code/types, too, though.

Thanks @Kayden. If anyone else finds this thread, this is what ended up working for me:
