Column Links

In Qrvey, you can use column links 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 is used across all visualizations, but you can tailor the link to each chart by using tokens to create dynamic URLs in the default link or by overwriting the default link in a given chart or visualization.

To create column links:

  1. Navigate to Data > Datasets > Design and select the dataset.

  2. Find a column, and open the three-dot menu located on the right-hand side.

  3. Select the Column Link option to open a modal.

  4. Add the URL and title for the column link.

    The title is visible in the chart’s one-click menu for end users. You can also use tokens in URLs to create dynamic links that adapt based on the data.

  5. Select Save to confirm and exit the modal.

    A blue link icon displays in the selected column.

Note: To obtain a column's ID for development purposes, select the column’s options (three-dot) menu and select Copy Column ID.

Each time you add a new visualization to a dashboard, any visualization containing columns with links contains a page action automatically predefined with your set URL.
