You can assign actions to specific dashboard components (for example, charts, traffic light, label, or image). The triggered actions set a data selection in other components, call other views of the dashboard, or jump to a specific URL.

The actions are triggered by clicking a component, by a mouse over event or by selection change, depending on the component selected. On mouse over events are performed if you move your mouse pointer over a data point of a component, for example, a coordinate of a Line chart. Whereas On selection change events are performed if you click on a data point in a chart or if you delete a data selection in a component. Depending on the component you can delete a selection by clicking in the background or selecting the Delete selection option in the

Menu of the component.

For the Grid component additional trigger options can be available, depending on your Grid component settings. That are On "item" click and On "item" traffic light click. Whereby "item" is a placeholder for a column name. In the Grid component settings you can make column cells clickable for triggering actions. See Assign data columns to grids for details.

You can use the defined action in the dashboard view mode. See Open a dashboard in MashZone NextGen.
