Detail in exploded state....

I have a large assembly drawing that I want shown in an assembled state in my main view, I want to do detail views of certain ares to be shown in an exploded state. Is this possible? I am really new at SW and have been playing with display states from what I understand I should be able to assign a display state to my exploded configuration and select that display state for my detail view. yes? doesn't seem to be working not sure what i'm doing wrong.....or right for that matter. Any ideas?

SW 2010 SP2.1 x64

Thanks
