Display Values in Table and Pivot Visualizations as Links
You can configure table or pivot visualizations to display table cell values as links. Consumers can see which values are URLs and then click the values to immediately invoke a data action.
You can display column values as links in tables or pivots to invoke data actions that are anchored to that column. If a data action is anchored to multiple columns, all of those columns must be present in the table or pivot in order for the links to work. See Create Data Actions to Connect Canvases or Create Data Actions to Connect to External URLs from Visualization Canvases.
Consumers can hover over the column values in the visualization to easily see which ones are links, indicated by an underline. They can then click the linked value to directly invoke the data action. If more than one data action is defined for a column, consumers can choose which one to invoke from a drop-down list.
This tutorial provides a use case to create data actions and links in a table visualization to navigate to another canvas:
- On the Home page, hover over a workbook, click Actions, then select Open.
- Click a table or pivot visualization to select it.
- Click Properties, then click Edge Labels, and expand a column that has a defined data action.
- Click Off in the On Click Action row to enable On for the data action links.
- Click Save.
