To navigate from Data Visualization to a publisher report, what data action is necessary?

To navigate from Data Visualization to a publisher report, the data action required is an Analytics Link. This action allows users to seamlessly connect their visualizations to specific reports and enhance their data storytelling. An Analytics Link is typically designed to take advantage of the analytical capabilities that a visualization platform offers, allowing users to share insights and findings directly from their visual representation to the more detailed reports that further elaborate on those insights.

In contrast, the other options do not serve this specific purpose. For instance, publishing is generally the action that shares or makes content available but does not facilitate direct navigation from one interactive data element to another. URL navigation might redirect users but may not provide the context or the specific linkage required for transitioning from the visualization to detailed reports. HTTP API is more focused on integrating different software applications through programming rather than navigating users directly from one data representation to another. Understanding how these different methods function can clarify why an Analytics Link is essential for the desired navigation.
