Automatic Column Links
Column links in Qrvey enable you to automatically associate a URL with a column, creating interactive links in visualizations. When a column with a link is used in a page visualization, a "Go to URL" action is automatically created, enhancing the interactivity and functionality of your dashboards. By default, the Custom Link will be used across all visualizations, but can be custom-tailored to each chart by using tokens to create dynamic URLs in the default link or overwriting the default link in a given chart or visualization.
Column links in Qrvey enhance your data visualization capabilities by providing seamless integration with external resources, facilitating a more interactive and connected data experience.
Create Column Links
To create Column Links, follow these steps.
- Navigate to Data > Datasets > Design and select the desired dataset.
- Find the desired column, and open the three-dot menu located on the right-hand side.
- Click the Column Link option. A modal will appear.
- Add the URL and title for the column link as desired.
The title will be visible in the chart’s on-click menu for End Users.
You may also use tokens in URLs to create dynamic links that adapt based on the data. - Click Save to confirm and exit the modal. A blue link icon will appear on the selected column.
Note: To obtain a column's ID for development purposes, click the column’s three-dot menu and select Copy Column ID.
Every time you add a new visualization to Dashboard Builder, any visualization containing columns with links will have a Page Action automatically predefined with your set URL.
