About actions

In Storyboards, actions add interactivity among widgets: you click or hover over an element in a widget to trigger a visual effect in another widget.

Note: You can connect several widgets through actions only if they use the same dataset.

The following elements are important when you create actions:

  • Source widget – The widget where you click or point to an element to trigger a visual effect (action) in a target widget.
  • Target widget – The widget where a visual effect is shown when you click or point to an element in a source widget.
  • Event type – The method that you use in a source widget to trigger an action in a target widget. The event types can be: hovering (pointing to a data element), left-click, right-click, double-click, and title click (clicking the title of a visualization).
  • Action type – The visual effect that you get in a target widget when you click or point to an element in a source widget. The action types can be filtering, highlighting, showing, or hiding widgets, switching a chart type, opening a page on the current, or another storyboard.

For details on creating actions, see Create actions.
