Create a Data Action to Launch an Enterprise Application in the Context of a Selected Column

  1. Create or open a workbook and confirm that you’re working in the Visualize canvas.
  2. Click Menu and select Data Actions.
  3. Click Add Action and enter a name for the new navigation link. You can add multiple navigation links.
  4. Click the Type field and select URL Navigation.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

  7. Click OK to save.
  8. In the Canvas, click a cell, or use Ctrl-click to select multiple cells.
  9. 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).
