# Actions and Events

In **ViewZen Analytics**, various actions and events can be configured on charts to enhance interactivity and user engagement. These allow users to interact with the visual components dynamically and trigger specific actions based on their events.

### Events

ViewZen Analytics supports two types of originating events

**Events from this Visual**

These events are triggered by user interactions within the same visual component. The user can interact with a single click or a double click. Users can interact with the visual through a single click or a double click. The click events can emit a dimension or other properties. The actions configured for these interactions can either be restricted to the same visual component or extend to other visual components on the sheet. 

The following actions can be configured for each type of click

* **Freeze** - Locks the visual component in its current state.
* **Drilldown** – Enables hierarchical exploration of data. This is allowed only on context based charts where a hierarchy is configured.
* **Filter** – Creates a filter based on the selected dimension and this filter gets applied to all other components in the sheet. The opacity of all the other dimensions is decreased.
* **No Action** – Keeps the interaction neutral without triggering any changes.
* **Navigate to Sheet** – Redirects the user to a different sheet within the dashboard.
* **Navigate to URL** – Opens the specified URL
* **Open Appverse Form** – This action can be configured only for tables created on Appverse datasets. The appverse web form corresponding to the specific record will open up when clicked.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Currently only dimensions are emitted by the visuals**
{% endhint %}

**Events from other Visual**

These events originate from a different visual component but impact the current one. Based on the property emitted by the originating visual, the following actions can be configured on this visual (current one)

* **Freeze** - Locks the visual component in its current state.
* **Drilldown** – Enables hierarchical exploration of data. This is allowed only on context based charts where a hierarchy is configured.
* **Filter** – Creates a filter based on the selected dimension and this filter gets applied to all other components in the sheet. The opacity of all the other dimensions is decreased.
* **No Action** – Keeps the interaction neutral without triggering any changes.
