Create a Data Action to Launch an Enterprise Application in the Context of a Selected Column
- Create or open a workbook and confirm that you’re working in the Visualize canvas.
- Click Menu and select Data Actions.
- Click Add Action and enter a name for the new navigation link. You can add multiple navigation links.
- Click the Type field and select URL Navigation.
- Click the Anchor To field and select the columns that you want the URL to apply to. If you don't specify a value for the Anchor To field, then the data action applies to all data elements in the visualizations.
-
Enter a URL address and optionally include notation and parameters.
https://{environment base URL}/cis.jsp?minDashboard=true&initNav=false&script={product specific script}&FLAG={script specific flag}&PKVALUE1=${keyValuesForColumn:your ID}
The column ID/names that you select are replaced with values when you invoke the data action.
- Click OK to save.
- In the Canvas, click a cell, or use Ctrl-click to select multiple cells.
- Right-click and select from the menu the navigation name that you created earlier. Selecting the cells determines the values to pass to the parameters (that is, the URL tokens).
