Using Interaction Properties

Commands
To assign a command to your label, right-click in the Property Value field of the command property and select Define Command. Commands can be set up to execute when you click on an object or automatically execute the command when the value of an object reaches a specified threshold. See Building Displays>Define/Execute Command for information on how to set up commands.

Drill Down Displays
To specify a drill down display, double click on the drillDownTarget property. Any display (.rtv) file can be targeted as a drill down. Once a drill down target has been set, double-click on the label to activate the drill down. Drill down displays can be activated in the same window that contains the label or open in a separate window. This allows you to build a customizable hierarchy of displays.
