Part 1 - Introduction
Action Links are a little explored option in Analytics that can allow for more interactivity in dashboards. This video shows how the E-Resources Group is using it to make their New Portfolios List more useful to staff.
Part 2 - Creating Drill-Through
Drill-Throughs allow for one report to feed into a second. This can be a handy way to break up large reports into more explorable smaller reports.
Part 3 - Creating Popup Search Windows
Actual HTML encoding is not directly allowed by Ex Libris's deployment of Analytics due to security concerns, but this use of Action Links allows the developer to guide a user through to a catalog search just as if a direct link were provided.
