  Key Concepts: 
  Data action is a feature in SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) that allows users to take action on their data. It enables users to create and execute data-driven actions, such as creating a report, sending an email, or updating a database. Data actions are triggered by events, such as when a user clicks on a chart or when a certain condition is met. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Data actions can be used in SAC to automate tasks and streamline processes. To use data actions, users must first create an action template. This template defines the action that will be taken when the event is triggered. Once the template is created, users can then assign it to an object in their SAC model. When the event is triggered, the action will be executed automatically. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating data actions, it is important to consider the context of the action. For example, if the action is triggered by a user clicking on a chart, it may be helpful to include additional information about the chart in the action template. This will help ensure that the action is executed correctly and with the desired results.
