### **Action type**

Set up your dashboard action using a **filter** or a **parameter** from the dropdown menu. With the filter option you can trigger a dashboard action that filters on other sheets in your dashboard. A parameter action will change the value of a parameter to the node or link you selected in the Sankey. Very powerful features to control interactivity and usability!

#### Trigger on

Decide whether to trigger the dashboard action when you click on a **node** or a **link** from your Sankey Diagram.

#### Target sheet

Here you can select the sheet(s) you want to be the target of your dashboard action. Beware that you do not set your datasheet as a target sheet for the actions otherwise it will be hard to reset your filters!

#### Deselecting will

This powerful feature will give you control of your configured dashboard action. Use the dropdown to decide what you wish to happen once you’ve deselected your mark(s) in the Sankey. You can choose to show all data again in the target sheet(s), show no data at all or leave the filter as it was.
