Hierarchies of URLs can be added to grids and Cartesian charts; they are added to the visual as a link icon. Clicking the link opens the target URL in a new tab. This is an efficient way to enable users to jump to a URL, without configuring any actions. Click here to learn how to configure URL columns in Model.
Tip: If you wanted to add an action to your context menu that jumps to a single URL location instead, you can configure a Jump Action with a URL as its target. For more information, see Jump To URL in Discover Pro.

To enable the jump function for a URL hierarchy, it must be assigned to the URL type. You can change the type in either Model or Discover. Once it has been designated as a URL type, it is displayed with a link icon in the Dimensions panel:
The URL hierarchy can be added to Rows or Columns when working with grids. Hover over a link to views its URL, and click on a link to open it in a new tab. In this example, each link opens up a Wikipedia article about the corresponding country.
When working with Cartesian charts, add the URL hierarchy to Categories to display the URL links along the axis. In this example, the URL hierarchy was added to the x-axis of a point chart:
Here, the URL hierarchy was added to the y-axis of a 100 stacked bar chart:
