Use Set Parameter Data Actions to Pass Parameter Values

Create Set Parameter data actions when you want to use a data action to set parameter values in a workbook.

When a consumer invokes a Set Parameter data action, whether it's by selecting a data point in a visualization, or clicking a button, their action acts like a selection and sets the parameter value anywhere the parameter is used on the canvas. For information on how you can use parameters on a canvas, see Use Parameters in Workbooks.

You can design a parameter specifically for a Set Parameter data action to suit your use case. For more information about creating parameters, see Create and Use Parameters.
