Data links and actions options

There are four data link shared files, datalink-options.md, datalink-options-1.md, datalink-options-2.md, and datalink-options-3.md to cover the most common combinations of options. Using shared files ensures that content remains consistent across visualizations that share the same options and users don't have to figure out which options apply to a specific visualization when reading that content. This file is used in the following visualizations: table

Data links allow you to link to other panels, dashboards, and external resources and actions let you trigger basic, unauthenticated, API calls. In both cases, you can carry out these tasks while maintaining the context of the source panel.

For each data link, set the following options:

• Title
• URL
• Open in new tab

Data links for this visualization don't include the One click switch, however, if there's only one data link configured, that data link has single-click functionality. If multiple data links are configured, then clicking the visualization opens a menu that displays all the data links.

For each action, define the following API call settings:

Option	Description
Title	A human-readable label for the action that's displayed in the UI.
Confirmation message	A descriptive prompt to confirm or cancel the action.
Method	Select from POST, PUT, or GET.
URL	The request URL. To add a variable, click in the URL field and enter $ or press Ctrl+Space or Cmd+Space to see a list of available variables.
Query parameters	Key and Value pairs. Click the + icon to add as many key/value pairs as you need.
Headers	Comprised of Key and Value pairs and a Content-Type. Click the + icon to add as many key/value pairs as you need.
Content-Type	Select from the following: application/json, text/plain, application/XML, and application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Body	The body of the request.
