How to get event published in Data Action of DV UI?

Question

Hi, Experts,

In OAS 7.0 DV part,we can define Data Action in workbook and publish event by clicking it in right key menu.

I created an data action and clicked it by right key menu.

But how can I get data from this event and this clicking?

Is there any table or DV/BIP components to show the message of this event?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

What do you think the "publish event" does or should do?

Because you probably expect something it isn't meant for...

The Publish Event enables external applications to receive the set of data element values in the selected visualization, known as the visualization context.

This is from the doc, but the doc is titled: Create Data Actions in Visualizations Embedded in External Containers

The publish is meant for an embedding context to enable a communication from your DV content to the container embedding it, the (web) app , to receive actions back from inside DV.

Have a look at https://medium.com/oracledevs/creating-a-low-code-decision-intelligence-application-f35bc1cc5987 , it goes over an example using the publish event type.
