Subscribe to click-through report instead of base report

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We have a base report that has two drill down (click-through) reports, so the structure goes:
 

  1. Cloud Spend Analysis Report (Base)
  2. Category report
  3. Subcategory Report

A user can select a category from the base report to then navigate to the category report, and then they can select a subcategory to get to the subcategory report. 

As of right now, you can select the arrow icon on the top right corner of Cloud Total Cost (CTC) > Email Subscriptions. Only the base report is listed, however, we want to have the option to select one of the drill down reports to subscribe users to.

We would use this functionality to showcase costs to subcategory / category owners without them having to go into CTC, so they would just get the emailed report every week in order to track spending / savings opportunities.
