Report actions let dashboard builders add interactivity into dashboards. Actions can be used to achieve:

Cross-report filtering.
-
Using the output of one report in another report.
-
Providing users with more parameterized control beyond parameter selectors.

$neodash_customer_nameto select a specific node. The graph is automatically updated when the user clicks on a row entry inside the table.
