Define Scopes for Data Actions defined in a workbook

Adolfo Izquierdo-Oracle

A suggestion of a possible enhancement:

Data Actions' scope is Workbook (Across all canvas). It would be nice to be able to specify a finer scope.It will be more flexible to define a scope (perhaps 2 or 3 options):

• Workbook Scope (currently supported)
• Canvas Scope
• Visualization Scope (a bit of a stretch)

Current Issue:

We have a workbook where we've defined a data action anchored to lets say "Field 1", primarily using it in "Canvas 1".

However, lets say there is a need of another "new" canvas, and you want to drag and drop the same attribute from a Subject Area into a visualization, it will inherit that Data Action where we did not intend to have it, hence confusion on end users side.

Current Workaround:

Create a calculated measure (attribute) pointing to the original attribute.
