Abstract
An approach for enhancing retrieval of drill through data is provided. A determination is made as to whether a source report generated from query results of a query by a user contains a data item that is associated with drill through data. In response to a positive determination, a data drill MetadataBot (DDMB) is initiated. In response to activation, the DDMB searches metadata associated with the query results to identify a set of DDMB parameters for the data item. These DDMB parameters can include the cell that contains the data item and a target report containing the drill through data for the cell. Based on this search, the DDMB generates an augmented report that contains a visual identifier for the drill through data-associated cell, allowing the user to retrieve the target report by interacting with the visual identifier.
