We cannot do cross-report drillthrough now while clicking on a button. Users not always remember to do right click and do the drillthrough. It is better to have an option for a button. Once clicked will do the cross-report drill-through instead of right click.

RE: Activate cross-report drillthrough with a button instead of doing right click.

I'm currently in the process of refreshing our reports and how they are arranged. It would make a lot of sense to offer a top level search page which allows drill to the details pages available on multiple reports. The buttons are much easier for users since:It's obvious that drill through is available.The buttons can offer only the drill items that make sense in contextLaptop users in particular can sometimes have trouble using context menus. I've observed them have less trouble with the buttons.In the new arrangement, it would be a huge step up to offer a newly located page that connected to all reports. It would also be a huge step down, as the buttons for easy drill would be lost. Cross report drill buttons would give the best of both options.
