Starting with a regular bar chart in Workshop, is there any way to set an event to trigger upon selection of one of the bars? In this case the event would be Open the Object Explorer for the underlying objects of that bar.
My goal is to make it easier to drill-down into the chart data, so workarounds are appreciated too.
Thank you!
I think this is a great pattern in general - giving users the ability to “off ramp” from Workshop into OE or Quiver for continued ad hoc investigation.
Workshop doesn’t provide an Event trigger for chart interaction - and in general I’m a fan of Workshop’s relatively insistent “position” that users should take an explicit interaction intent to cause some effect (i.e. not too many things should happen “unexpectedly” like clicking a bar in a chart and having a new tab/page open).
Instead I often set this up something like this:
You need to make sure you tick on the Selection as Filter option in the individual Plot Layer configuration in the chart. Then create a filtered version of the chart input object set. I like to use the Object Set Title widget plus a separate button with the Open in OE event, but you could also create a single button that just says “Explore {X} Carriers” using a Variable Transform to create the button text based on the count of objects in the filtered object set.
