Since a CMS system uses multiple pages you have to tell the system which page to use to
display drill through content.
In the normal (non CMS) system, when you click a bar in a bar chart or a wedge on a pie
chart, you drill through and your current screen is replaced with a list of records meeting
the chart's criteria. For example, if you have a gauge of Incidents by Category and you click the bar labeled Hardware you
drill through to a list of all incidents with a category=hardware.

Within the CMS system, there is a similar drill through mechanism at work, but you must
manually specify which page to display.

There are two different models of the drill through, use an in-place target frame to
receive the content, or use another page to display the content.

## Using an In-Place Target

An in-place target is a named iframe on the same CMS page as the gauge. When the gauge is
clicked, the drill-through content appears within that iframe rather than changing out the
CMS page. The gauge (and the rest of the page other than the target) remain in place and
active.

## Using a Gauge Target Page

A gauge target page is a separate CMS page that is used to display the drill-through
content from a gauge. When a gauge is clicked, the current CMS page is replaced with the
gauge target page and the drill-through content is rendered within that second page.

* Gauge Target Page

  To set a site default, select
  Gauge Target Page, on the site configuration page. This page is
  used as the drill-through target for any gauges in the system that do not have a more
  specific gauge page specified in their content type.
* Gauge Page  
  To set a content-type specific page, you can specify a Gauge Page, on a content type page. Any gauges for this type of content then use that page for any drill through.  
  Note:  
  The gauge target on a particular content type overrides the default, site level, gauge target.
* Gauge Target block

  A gauge target page is a normal CMS page,
  with one special requirement. Somewhere on that page, there must be a Gauge Target block. This market block tells the system where to output the drill
  through data.
