Drill Down
Ideally, the top level dashboard should drill down to details. For example, if the profit and loss (P&L) for a product is red — you should be able to drill down into the numbers.Want to impress your regulators and internal auditors? Give them a dashboard of your enterprise status where red areas drill down into controls that have been implemented.
