Use the Actions panel to configure specified actions that will be triggered when a user clicks somewhere on the visual. To learn about using Actions in Present, click here. To learn about support for MS SSAS defined Actions, see Cube Actions.
Note: Discovery Actions are not available in the Community edition.
Open the Actions panel from the Home ribbon.

- Execute JavaScript: when the specified report element is selected, a JavaScript function will be executed.
- Tooltip: create a tooltip that displays a specified data discovery or presentation.
