Is it to possible to trigger an auto insight from a image as an action link?

Question

Hello:

Is it possible to embed an action link or an URL to trigger the auto insight on clicking an image rather than the auto insight bulb icon?

Please let me know if its possible to do or if there are any suggestions.

Thanks

Thanks Steve and Gianni.

DV is just a piece of javascript that usually defines events on the various UI elements. Therefore if you fire the same event when you click your image, it will work.

Is there a simple checkbox "trigger auto insight" when clicking an image? No.

Can it, technically, be done? Yes.

Is it worth your effort in finding what event has to be triggered and implement that in the product you are using? I would say probably not, because it could change the next update and you will need to redo your work again (just like the icon has been replaced, they could change the event identifier etc.).

Raising an idea as suggested by Steve is "cheaper": take you 2 minutes and then it's all about waiting if the feature will be implemented.

Hi @User_2STKY ,

Welcome to the Oracle Analytics Community and thanks for posting your question!

As you describe it, the feature does not exist, but you can log an Ideas Lab request (see the link in the banner) with the explicit details for your use-case and the flow of what you envision would be the workflow for a someone to utilize clicking an image vs. clicking an icon (latest updates of OAC replaced the light build icon with a sparkle icon).

Other comments, welcomed.
