Actions in Data Explorer¶
On this page you will go through understanding the Actions activity lane in the Data Explorer.
Overview¶
Actions are the changes performed on an Asset, such as Control Changes. Control Changes can be initiated through manual control updates or through Recommendations.
Every Action performed is shown in the Actions lane in the Data Explorer. This allows you to quickly and visually see the effects of individual Actions on your Data Streams.
You can watch this short demo video or read the full written guide below.
Show or Hide the Actions Lane¶
Click the Actions icon in the Lanes control in the top right corner to show or hide the lane.
If the X-axis scale is too small to show individual Action times, then they will be grouped together and the number of Actions is shown on the group.
Double-click on the group and the graph will automatically zoom to that location in time and show the individual Actions.
View Current and Past Actions¶
Click the Activity Lanes tab in the left panel and select the Actions option to see the current and past Actions as a list of cards.
You can search the list, filter it and change the row size.
| Status | Meaning |
