Hi Demola.

On a scatter plot, we want to investigate why a data point is causing an abnormality (high or low value). By hovering it, we configured it to show the id via tooltip. The id when added to specific URL can be directed to the detailed log page of that data point. We want a clickable URL on the tooltip that can direct us to the drilldown page.

e.g. id = aaab-1222-1111
URL = https://google.com/aaab-1222-1111

Hi Mark … try to create a parameter with field id, then create a calculated field with that parameter and then on a scatter plot create an action with URL action and finally put url with id, but replacing that particular id by created parameter. You must too replace field id by created parameter in the visual. If you click a particular point on the scatter plot, you will go to the particular id’s web.

Didn’t work. You can set an URL action but clicking the plot won’t lead you to the desired URL link.

@Mark_Anthony_Ching, did you follow everything @jburrull proposed.

Can you post screen shots of what you are seeing?

Yup, actually it eventually worked but it requires a calculated field to build the whole URL over creating a parameter. Right now, the URL action can only have one field in it. What I’ve done before was multiple fields - https://<URL link//<_id> and it’s not opening a link. It should only be https://>/
