Actions

Actions can be defined on reports, and on the cells and objects within them. Actions can be triggered by various events. For example, an action may be a jump to another report, which is triggered by clicking on a cell. Or, the action may set the value of a variable, and be triggered by a drag and drop event or by editing a cell.

An action definition consists of one or more actions. Each has a mode, a condition and a type . The mode describes the event which triggers the action (for example, right-click or drag). The condition specifies the condition that must apply for the action to be triggered. The type describes the type of event that is triggered (for example, a jump to another report or setting a parameter).

You can copy and paste an action definition (which may contain several individual actions). Or, you can copy a single action within an action definition.

Actions can have inputs and parameters.

Not all action modes can be used with all action types. For example, Drag mode can only be used with the Set parameters type.
