Data links and actions options

Data links allow you to link to other panels, dashboards, and external resources and actions let you trigger basic, unauthenticated, API calls. In both cases, you can carry out these tasks while maintaining the context of the source panel.

For each data link, set the following options:

• Title
• URL
• Open in new tab

Data links for this visualization don't include the One click switch, however, if there's only one data link configured, that data link has single-click functionality. If multiple data links are configured, then clicking the visualization opens a menu that displays all the data links.

For each action, define the following API call settings:
