OAC Data Actions: Is it possible to link them to Visualisation Titles?

Dave Brandon

As the Question Subject suggests, we're interested to know if it's possible to link a Data Action to the Title of a Visualisation? Or, maybe more specifically, if it's possible to turn the Title of a Visualisation into a URL that could access another report within the same OAC Environment?

For example, assuming there's a High Level Summary Dashboard with multiple visuals on it and a User wants to drill into the data further. A Data Action could allow them to Right-Click on an Anchored data point and navigate to another Canvas or Report and pass across relevant values. Our Users would like to be able to click on the Title of the Visualisation and achieve a similar result.

Hi @Dave Brandon, Thanks for posting your question.

AFAIK OAC doesn’t currently support linking Data Actions to visualization titles. That said, I would like to better understand the use case to explore possible workarounds.

When a user clicks on the title, what context or values would you expect to pass to the target report? Since the title isn’t tied to a specific data point, it wouldn’t inherently carry dimensional values (like category, region, etc.) the way a Data Action does.

Hi @Aman Jain-Oracle ,

In this context, i believe the Users just wish to access the associated report which contains more detail for the Visualisation. Such as viewing a summary SLA Performance visual and then accessing more granular data, in a separate report, to investigate any SLA failures. In that scenario, they wouldn't necessarily need to pass any parameters across. But, i would consider the option to pass any dashboard filter values across as potentially useful.

I could meet the requirement to simply navigate to another report by using a Text Visualisation above each Chart Visualisation and embedding the link there, but i don't like how it looks… and was hoping it was possible to make use of the Visual Title itself.
