# Add a Dynamic Interaction to a Widget

You can connect a user action to a dashboard action. For example, when you select a bar in an overview chart, a dashboard page with the details of the selection opens. You can create an interaction for a chart, container, image, number, repeater, table, and text widget.

1. To edit the dashboard, click ![Edit button](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_icon_edit_widget.png) and select the widget.
2. In the right panel, click **Interaction**.
3. Click **Create Interaction**.
4. Select the interaction.
5. For Event, select the type of action that triggers the interaction, such as selecting a row or clicking the widget.
    
    You can’t create a select event for a container, image, number, or text widget.
6. Click **Add Action**.
    
    A widget can have multiple actions. When more than one action exists, the actions are performed sequentially when you click or select the item.
7. From the Action dropdown, select **Navigate to**.
    
    ![The Navigate To action settings for the interaction.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_dashboard_interactions_action_panel.png)
    
    1. For Link To, select the destination to link to, such as a dashboard, lens, or page.
        
        A layout page is available only if the dashboard has more than one page. To navigate between dashboard pages, add a Back button on the destination page so that you can return to the overview page.
    2. If the destination is a page, select **Go back on deselect**.
        
        This setting controls whether navigation takes you back to the original page when the selection is removed.
    3. Select the destination. The options are based on your Link To selection.
8. From the Action dropdown, select **Return to Initial View**, and then select **Return to initial view** for Reset.
    
    ![The Return to Initial View action settings for the interaction.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_dashboard_interactions_action_rtiv_panel.png)

    3. To exclude query selections from the clear action, select **Exclude**. Choose the queries to exclude.
10. Click **Apply**.
11. To test the interaction, preview the dashboard. Then save the dashboard.
