Drill Down in Tabular Format Metrics

Question

I know how to drill down inside of a Pie Chart for Metrics using the drillDown() method and passing the arguments.
But how do I do this, when my Metrics are in Tabular format displayed as a Group on the dashboard to the end user..
So when the end-user clicks on one of the rows lets say employee ID, it should pop up another tabular format Group presentation show the address, department etc.. of that employee?
How do I do that?
I don't have any On-Click Method where I can specify the drillDown() method for my tabular Format Group Metrics?

The "on change invoke" property's method is able to automatically detect the row in your group that was clicked because your method is inside your group and not in the parent BPM Object. If you're on 10g, make sure you've upgraded to a recent hotfix for 10g, there is a bug that prevents this from working on earlier cuts of the software.
Inside your group, add a new method called "showMeTheNameIChanged()". Add logic similar to this:
// you do not need this unless you want to determine the row # that was clicked
//   - this assumes that your group's name is "orderLines"
lineSelected = orderLines.indexOf(this)
// this will display the value of the attribute "customerName" in the row changed
display "You changed the name on the row ["
        + lineSelected + "] (zero based) and changed the name to ["
        + customerName + "]"Because the method is associated with the group and not the parent BPM Object, it automatically knows that you want the attributes for the row that was clicked. Again, although you can retrieve the row number ("lineSelected" in the above logic) you do not need to do this to retrieve the values of the attributes in the row changed ("customerName" in the above example).
