Contextual Action from Analytics Chart

Available since version Paper Plane 11.0.

This example shows how to create a button on a chart in Analytics > Data Analyzer, which will result in creation of a new Action Item with a given Action Item Type, and with provided values.

In Advanced Configuration Options, add a new application property:

The name must start with prefix “pfxContextualAction_”, for example “pfxContextualAction_PAAction”.
The property has the following JSON value:

{
    "name": "create_simple_action_from_PA",
    "labelTranslations": {
        "": "Create Action"
    },
    "page": "dataAnalyzerPage",
    "order": 2,
    "conditionToShow": "{typedId} != null",
    "contextLinking": {
        "targetPage": "newActionPage",
        "targetPageTarget": "new",
        "targetPageEntityType": "__DEFAULT__",
        "targetPageInputs": {
            "sourceContext" : {
                "queryBuilderState": "{queryBuilderState}"
            }
        },
		"targetPageFields":{
			"originatorTypedId": "{chartTypedId}",
			"summary": "{chartType}-{chartLabel}-action",
			"description": "This action was created from PA Chart {chartType}-{chartLabel}"
		}
    }
}

Replacements will be changed when the system creates the button on an actual page in frontend. See also list of available placeholders for dataAnalyzerPage.
