  75. <h2><a name="3_Introduction">3. Introduction</a></h2>
  76.  
  77. <p>This is a list of features we propose to deliver in future releases of
  78. Mondrian. Each feature is linked to a high-level description. Complex features
  79. will have more detailed specifications in a separate document.</p>
  80.  
  81. <p>Component designs
  82. are added to the <a href="overview.html">architectural overview</a> as
  83. necessary. Short term, you can put designs into an appendix.</p>
  84.  
  85. <p>It occurs to me that we haven't really defined who our customer is. Our main
  86. customer, I would contend, is someone using a web application (such as the
  87. sourceforge usage chart, <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/?group_id=35302">http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/?group_id=35302</a>).
  88. In some cases we will deliver apis and servlets to a second kind of customer, a
  89. developer. But almost every feature should have a deliverable -- perhaps just a
  90. sample application -- which can be used by the web-user.</p>

  176. <h4><a name="5_2_1_Basic_drill_through">5.2.1. Basic drill through</a></h4>
  177.  
  178. <p>Use case: User runs a query in the pivot table. Presses 'show data' button.
  179. An HTML table is displayed, containing the rows of the fact</p>
  180.  
  181. <p>If the pivot table supports selection of cells, rows or columns, the rows
  182. shown should relate only to selected cells.</p>
  183.  
  184. <p><i>Julian: It's not hard to implement the server-side part of it (given a set of 
  185. coordinates, e.g {([Time].[1997], [Store].[USA]), ([Time].[1998], 
  186. [Store].[USA].[CA])}, return a select statement/parse tree of a select 
  187. statement/jdbc result set for the fact table rows which went into those cells). 
  188. The hard part is to incorporate it into the ui in a non-trivial way. (Which end 
  189. user wants to see a table with columns headed REGION_ID, TIME_ID, UNIT_SALES, 
  190. and a bunch of surrogate keys?)</i></p>

  195. Data is rendered in pie chart.</p>

  200.  
  201. <p><i>Julian: These come under the aegis of the pivot table until we have an 
  202. independent controller. It should be easy to shoehorn their 
  203. metadata into the catalog (of which FoodMart.xml is an example, and Mondrian.xml 
  204. is the specification).</i></p>

  206. <h4><a name="5_2_4__Drill_anywhere">5.2.4. Drill anywhere</a></h4>
  207.  
  208. <p>Use case: User runs a query in the pivot table. They choose a column (for
  209. example, day of week) which is not a dimension, and drill on it. (Behind the
  210. scenes, the server is creating a dimension on the fly.)</p>
