Hi!
I’m trying to add an URL action in a scatterplot - I would like to right click in each point and be redirect to a webpage (the link can be different for each data point) but I’m facing an issue:
Context:
In my dataset exists a column “URL”. This column contains several URLs with this format: https://XXXX (e.g.: https://www.bbc.com/).
I created a parameter (paramURL) linked to this URL column and then associated this parameter to the url action (as you can see in the first image). However, I got the error described above.
I also tried to configurate the URL like : https://<<$paramURL>> but does not work.
Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Hey @Filipa_Januario ,
great to have you in the Quick Sight Community 
!
I think you need to change your parameter.
https://<> should work. The Parameter should only show the URL without https://
E.g. the parameter needs only: community.amazonquicksight.com.
Hopefully this can help you.

Hi @robert.eibers!
Thank you very much for your quick reply. Unfortunately, it didn’t work with my data asset.
I created a new column “edit_URL” in the SQL spice, without https://. Then, I created the parameter:
I didn’t get any error in URL action, however, I’m not able to see the webpage. I got always:
This site can’t be reached
all’s server IP address could not be found.
P.S: If I tried to create a static default value and not linked to a dynamic default value, it works (e.g.: community.amazonquicksight.com). However, this is not what I need. I need to link the parameter to the “edit_url” column
Any clue about how should I proceed?
Thank you!
Hey @Filipa_Januario ,
seems odd. Maybe you can provide some screenshots of what you build or reproduce the error in Arena. I have prepared an arena environment where I build parameterized links but within an calculated field. TEST URL Maybe it can help you for test purposes.
Also if there is an " " empty space somewhere it will also not work.

Thanks @robert.eibers!
I think the problem was that I didn’t have the parameter in the visualization neither as a control. I added the column as a label and then it was possible to add it in the URL action.
Many thanks for your help!
