Properties - Interactivity, Actions

This topic contains the following sections:

Interactivity

The Interactivity tab contains settings related to showing or hiding functions when the app is in analysis mode. Pivot Table mode (Figure 1) converts the table to read-only mode, where selections are disabled when a cell is clicked. Choosing Allow Selection on Measure selects the related dimension value when the measure is clicked. In the Pivot Header Actions section there are settings to show or hide various controls: Show/Hide Export Button Icon, Show/Hide Alternative Selector and Hide False Dimension/Measure Calculation Condition, where the user won't see dimensions and measures where the Calculation Condition is set to false. Show Maximize Icon controls the ability for users to maximize objects.

When the Allow formatted export option is Disabled, all formatted export options are unavailable. The end users can't export formatted data.

Actions

The Actions settings (Figure 3) integrate the pivot table with Vizlib Actions. If an action is added, it will run after the user clicks on a cell to make a selection. Currently, the actions Vizlib Pivot Table supports are Lock Field, Lock All Selected, Unlock All Selected, Activate Next Sheet, Activate Previous Sheet, Activate Sheet, Open URL, Set Variable, and Sleep.

Integrating with Vizlib Actions will allow you to drill through the data and learn about the underlying data which creates the pivot table. You can find out more about Vizlib Actions in the reference here.
