Siebel Analytics Web Administration Guide > Administering Siebel Intelligence Dashboards > Creating Siebel Intelligence Dashboards Action LinksTo provide a link for end users to navigate from their analytic dashboards to a record in a Siebel operational application, use an action link. Siebel Analytics applications contain prebuilt action links in requests and dashboards. For example, a user can drill down directly from a Siebel Sales Analytics dashboard to a specific record in a Siebel Sales view. Drilldown is based on the row identifier column contained in a request. NOTE: End users must have the appropriate permissions and responsibilities to access the view, and any drilldown links. Also, the host name for the Web server (or Virtual IP) serving content from the Siebel application server must match that for the Siebel Analytics Web Server, because the JavaScript Security model prevents a script on one server from affecting another. When running Siebel Analytics in stand-alone mode, there is no connection to a Siebel operational application. Therefore, you cannot create a new action link nor access a predefined action link. The Action Links command in the Navigate drop-down menu is visible only when the user is logged into the integrated application.
After the request is saved and placed on a dashboard, the row identifier column contains an action link to the Siebel operational application. |
