Adding an Action Trigger to a Visualization


You can add a trigger to a visualization and connect it to an action that you want to run when clicking the trigger. You can select external actions or actions from action mods.

To add an action trigger to a visualization:

  1. Make sure data is loaded into an analysis and that the visualization you want to add a trigger to has been created.

  2. Open the Visualization properties panel.

  3. Click Add and select Action trigger from the menu.

  4. Response: An unconfigured Action trigger card is added to the panel.

  5. Select which trigger type you want to use.

  6. Click Select action.

  7. Response: The Actions flyout is opened.

  8. Locate the action you want to add to the trigger, and select it by clicking the plus sign to the right. Action mods can contain several scripts, and you might need to expand the item to select a specific action to add to the trigger. You can click More actions to open a menu where you can locate action mods in the library or locally, or add an external action. See Adding a new external action to an analysis to learn more about the option Add action from external service.

  9. Tip: You can right-click an item and select View details to see if any configurations exist for the action already. You can also see if the configurations are used somewhere in the analysis.

  10. If the selected action requires input, provide the necessary input in the flyout that is opened, and then click Done. For information on the available options for the parameters, see Options for Action Parameters.

  11. Response: The action trigger is added to the visualization with the selected action.
