The Open a data visualization action element allows end users to open a data visualization directly from an object instead of through a view. For example, if this action was added to a standard form for the Location object type and a user was working in a location object, they could click the "View Incidents at this Location" action button to view a report that outlines details about the incidents that occurred in that city.
Clicking on a data visualization action on an existing object will display a related data visualization. In this case, clicking View Incidents at This Location will display the Incidents by Location Report with the Toronto object as its focus.

- If the form is not already open, click the
icon in the top bar > Configurable Forms in the Views section, then select a form. - Click the
icon in the Actions section of the Form Elements palette to expand it. - Drag and drop the Open a data visualization element to the canvas, which will automatically display the Add Component screen.
