An inline action is an action that you define at the point of use and do not save by name in the catalog. Instead, you save the action as part of an analysis or dashboard page. For example, in the Brand Revenue analysis, you can save an inline action that contains an action link to an Opportunity Detail web site.
You create an inline action when you:
Create an analysis and add a new action to a column heading, column value, or hierarchy level value using an action link.
For information, see Adding Actions to Analyses.
Edit a dashboard page and add a new action to the page using an action link or an action link menu.
For information, see Adding Actions to Dashboard Pages.
