In this blog, I will show you how to link a value in a graph with the generation of an eMail, passing through a parameter.
1 - Step one : Create your graph
In my example, I created a simple graph with an Employee name, and a value. In my example I am a middle-manager, that needs to make sure that all employees have fulfilled their mandatory trainings :
The graph contains 1 dimension, 1 measure.
2- Step two : Create a script
Now, clickon the 3 dots on the right hand corner of the graph : ...
Navigate to Edit Scripts > onSelect to open the script generation page.
In this page, you simply need to leverage the following code :
// Chart_42 is the name of the chart in the document
// %0A is the HTML for line break
var selection = Chart_42.getSelections();
var email = "mailto:" + selection[0]["Employee_Name"] + "@bestrunbikes.com?subject=Please follow the mandatory trainings&body=You have overdue mandatory trainings. %0A Please do them as soon as possible. %0A Regards, %0A Top Management";
NavigationUtils.openUrl(email);
First variable : selection, I retrieve the selected value of the graph (in my example my graph is called "Graph_42".
Then I create a variable called "email" that contains the html code to send an email. For more details on eMail HTML code, you can check this article : https://yoast.com/developer-blog/guide-mailto-links/
Once this is done, you need to PReview your document as scripting is not executed in Edit nor View mode
