1. Select **Navigate to** as the action type.
2. Select a data field to add the action to.
3. Use **URL Address** to specify the destination URL.
    
    The URL must start with one of the following prefixes: http, https, ftp, mailto, news, gopher, tsc, tsl, sms, or tel.
4. To create a dynamic URL, select data fields from **Insert Fields**.
    
    Each data field value is appended to the URL. For example, to take the user to details for a state.
    
    1. Add the action to the State field and enter a URL Address of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki.
    2. Insert the State field from the visualization.
    3. When the user clicks on a state field with the value California, the dynamic URL generated is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California.
5. To verify the URL works as expected, click **Test URL**.
6. Define the action label the user sees when they click on the field, for example, Open URL.
