# Drills

Drills are a way of configuring what should be displayed to the end users when they interact with reports by clicking on charts.

It's a great way to:

* Allow your viewers to go beyond just a report aggregated data 
* Add more interactivity to the report

## Why using drills?

When viewers will start consuming your reports, they will have additional questions. 

> Why are my sales going up or down? 
>
> What are the deals currently in closed won or lost? etc. 

To give more flexibility and level of interaction to viewers, you can set up drills in the [Workbench](/data-management/workbench.md) that will then be automatically available to all your charts in the reporting section.

## How can I configure drills?

In the workbench, at the bottom left corner of your window, click on the "**Drills**" button

From here you can pick any property you want to be available as a Drill and reorder them the way you want by dragging and dropping them.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.whaly.io/data-management/workbench/understanding-datasets/drills.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
