In OAC DV, Do we have an option to enable condition based data actions?

Question

In our Summary report, we have a requirement to enable data action links only to specific row values conditionally.

Thanks for your detailed response @RVohra.

Our requirement is to enable value specific data action link.

For example:

Assume that my anchor to column values are Red,  Blue, Yellow, Green.

We wanted to enable data actions link only for values Red and Green. We don't need link on Blue and Yellow.

Is there a way to achieve this in DV?

Thanks in advance…

@User_A63N1 , Welcome to the Oracle Analytics Community!

You can try anchoring Data Actions to Columns and see if it fulfills your requirement. In this activity, when you create a data action, you can anchor it to specific columns displayed on the canvas. If you anchor a data action to specific columns, the data action is only available to workbook users if they select data points in all specified columns.

On the Data Actions dialog, select Add Data under Anchor To and select one or more columns.

If you anchor a data action to multiple columns, the user must multi-select data points from all of the specified columns in order to see the data action displayed in the right-click context menu.

You can also create data actions that don't require data and therefore aren't anchored to any columns. This kind of data action can be used in Button Bars, see Button Bars.

The Requires Data row is set to On by default when you create a new data action. To turn it off, click On. The Anchor To row disappears.

Hope it helps!
