Button to show visual

Hi community,

I am trying to build a button that when clicked, it will display 5 different line charts, and a button to make the line charts hidden.

Here are my steps on creating the “on” button. I would be very appreciated if someone can point me on the right direction. Also, I am using the Free Form layout.

1 - Created a parameter named Details, with the following conditions:

Data Type: String

Values: Single Value
Static Single Value

Static default Value: Show

2 - Set the Visual to “Hide by Default” and create a rule with the parameter that I created, with the following conditions

Condition: Contains
Value: Show

Action: Show this visual

3- Create a Custom Visual with a image, and then define a Action

What I am missing in here? Thank you!

Hi @miguelantunesp and welcome to the Quick Suite Community!
You’re definitely on the right track; the first thing I’m noticing would be your in your action setup. You’re correct in utilizing a navigation action so that you can bring in the parameter; but when you’re adding the parameter, you’ll want to change the ‘set parameter value’, instead of using the ‘all values’ option, use the ‘custom’ option instead and put ‘Show’.
That way, when you click your custom image, it will set the parameter value as ‘Show’ and will then activate your rule.

Let me know if you have any additional questions!

Hi @Brett !

Thanks for the welcoming and for the quick reply.

I tried to implement your suggestion, and when I edit the Action tab on my icon, it worked once and now is always showing the visual.

Now I need to create a new icon to hide again I believe. But I am struggling again on how to do it. I will post here my steps as I did above, if you could give me a hand I would be very appreciated again:

1 - Created a parameter named Hide, with the following conditions:

Data Type: String

Values: Single Value
Static Single Value

Static default Value: Hide

2 - Created a rule on the visual that I want to hide now with the new parameter “Hide” , with the following conditions:

Condition: Contains
Value: Hide

Action: Hide this visual

3- Create a Custom Visual with a image, and then define a Action

Action Type: Navigation Action

Target Sheet: Sheet 1

Then I added the Hide parameter with the custom value “Hide”

This is what I did, and now the only way to hide the visual is to remove the action that I created previosuly. Let me know if this is clear.

Thanks so much for the support so far!
