Action Links enable context-sensitive navigation from analytical content to related analyses, dashboards, web pages, or other supported targets. An action link can be associated with a column heading, column value, or hierarchy-level value in an analysis. When invoked, the link can pass mapped parameters or contextual information to the destination.

This makes Action Links appropriate for moving from a summarized analytical view into transaction-level detail. For example, a user could select a customer, product, opportunity, or regional value in a summary analysis and open a detailed destination that reflects the selected context. Oracle's Action Framework supports parameter mapping when configuring the target action.

Modern Oracle Analytics workbook Data Actions provide a comparable capability: Analytics Links can pass source-canvas context into another canvas or workbook. The classic Action Link remains the feature explicitly represented in this question.

Repository Variables contain centrally managed values but aren't navigation mechanisms. Runtime Configuration controls Publisher processing settings, and Bursting generates and distributes personalized Publisher documents.
