# Keep, remove, drill sections

On right click of any chart in a Vizpad, you will get three options:

* Keep (refers to maintaining a section)
* Remove (refers to removing a section)
* Drill (drilling down to get insights)

### **Keeping a section of chart**

```javascript
telliusFrame.postMessage({
         actionType: "filterBySelection",
         vizId: vizId,
         selectionPointType: "single", // single or multiple
         values: value,
         filterType: "Keep",
         columns: columnName
       }, "*");
```

### **Removing a section of chart**

```javascript
telliusFrame.postMessage({
         actionType: "filterBySelection",
         vizId: vizId,
         selectionPointType: "single", // single or multiple
         values: value,
         filterType: "Remove",
         columns: columnName
       }, "*");
```

**selectionPointType** refers to single or multiple point selection with the filter on a particular data value or multiple data values respectively. The values can be either be “single” or “multiple”.

### **Drilling a Viz**

We can drill down a viz by:

1. Column Name
2. Hierarchy
3. Across another vizpad

### **Drill by column name**

```javascript
telliusFrame.postMessage({
    actionType: "drillByColumn",
    vizId: "0d4abe5e-0758-4bdd-a71c-14e5f9d9a2b0",
    drillByColumn: "Gender",
    filters: [{
        value: "Desktop",
        column: "Device_Type",
        operator: '='
    },
    {
        value: "Direct",
        column: "Source",
        operator: '='
    }]
}, "*");
```

### **Drill by hierarchy**

```javascript
telliusFrame.postMessage({
    actionType: "drillByHierarchy",
    vizId: "0d4abe5e-0758-4bdd-a71c-14e5f9d9a2b0",
    drillByColumns: ["county_name", "state_name"],
    filters: [{
        value: "Desktop",
        column: "Device_Type",
        operator: '='
    },
    {
        value: "Direct",
        column: "Source",
        operator: '='
    }]
}, "*");
```

## 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://help.tellius.com/tellius-5.6/embedding-tellius/embedding-url/embedding-vizpads/keep-remove-drill-sections.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.
