How do you set up a URL Navigation in a Data Action? Easy in OAC Classic, but not in OAC

Marcelo G. Proaño

I have the following setup in OAC Classic where a user will click on the value of an invoice and invoke a URL that will take them to another site and pass values from the row click on.

I'm trying to do the same in a DV workbook, but getting an error:

From this documentation, https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/analytics-cloud/acubi/create-data-actions-connect-external-urls-visualization-canvases.html,

I figure I basically replace the @{Name} with either ${valuesForColumn:"COLUMN"}. There are two parameters I need to pass, one is a hidden calculated column and another is directly from the dataset. Why is it failing to parse?

Looks like you cannot use calculations. Once I created a field in the RPD with the same logic it worked.

From the screenshot, it looks like the values are not resolving correctly. It must be like ${valuesForColumn:<Drag the column here>}

Hi @Marcelo G. Proaño,

Please take a look into the following video & the document from Oracle which might be useful for the understanding.

Hope this help.

Thank you @Bhaskar Konar, it did help a little but it looks like the information I want to pass is a calculation and throws the error? Can you pass a calculated attribute? So this works:

${valuesForColumn:@column("SupplierNumber")}

but this does not:

${valuesForColumn:@calculation("SupplierNumberTrimmed")}

Would you or anyone know if calculated attributes can be used as they are in Classic? If not, then I'll have to work on putting it in the RPD.

Thank you @Priya Chary. You are correct, they are not resolving but I think it's because for one of them I'm dragging in a calculation because when I click on "Column" to select one calculations are not an option to select.

For a column to work with data actions, it must be included in the visualization. You can hide it if you don't want it to be visible, but it still needs to be part of the visual where the data action is triggered.

Thank you @Priya Chary, the column is part of the visualization. At first I had it hidden and then I made it visible hoping that was it, but no success.
