# Row Click Action Types

## Overview

Report rows have many options to display actions when selected; by default, a Slider will be displayed when a row is left clicked in a **Report**. There are options to change this function locally for just one **Report** or globally for all Reports within the environment.

---

## Configuration

The following section demonstrates how to adjust the default **Report Row Slider** action through two primary methods:

- From the **Report Designer** via the GRID VIEW **Properties.**
- From the **Report Designer** via the ACTIONS **Properties**
- From a **Report Viewer** by disabling **Always Show Action On Row**under **VIEW > Grid****.**

### Report Designer > GRID VIEW

1. [Create a **Report**](/v9/docs/create-reports)****in a**Designer Project**.
2. Within the **Report Designer****Properties**panel, expand GRID VIEW. Set the **Grid Setting Type** to **Specified**.
3. The following settings are available for both left and right-click actions:

| Setting | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Show Slider | Displays the Slider containing information about the selected Row item, such as the name, its type, and any actions related to the data type. |
| Show Action | Displays a menu with actions available for the Row type. |
| Default Action | Sets the action as configured in Designer Studio Settings. |
| No Actions | Displays no actions when a Row is selected. |

4. Select the desired actions and save the Report. For this example, left-click action is left as **Show Slider,** and the right-click action is set as **Show Action**. On the **Top Action Bar**, click **Run Report**.
5. From the **Report**, left-click to show the **S****lider**and right-click to bring up the action menu.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2024-08-21_10h25_58.png)

### Report Designer > ACTIONS

1. Within the **Report Designer****Properties**panel, expand ACTIONS.
2. The following settings are available:

| Setting | Description |
| --- | --- |
| [Override Action Context](https://documentation.decisions.com/v9/docs/overriding-action-contexts-reports) | Enabling the Override Action Context Property allows users to add Actions for specifically sorted data. |
| Group Action Behavior | Choose from Dynamic or Flow. This determines action behavior when multiple rows are selected together. |
| Show Actions on Right Click | This will override the [default studio settings](https://documentation.decisions.com/v9/docs/designer-studio-settings) and allow actions on rows to show on a right-click. |
| Show Actions on Left Click | This will override the [default studio settings](https://documentation.decisions.com/v9/docs/designer-studio-settings) and allow actions on rows to show on a left-click. |

### Report Viewer in the Page Designer

In contrast to the setting that can be edited in the **Report****Designer**, disabling **Always Show Action On Row** disables the **Default Action** when selecting a row.

1. From the **Page Designer** of a **Page**that contains a **Report Viewer**, navigate to the **Properties** tab of the Report Viewer.
2. Under **VIEW > Grid**, uncheck the **Always Show Action On Row** setting.

3. **Save**and close the **Report****Designer**.
4. [Add the Page](/v9/docs/create-pages-dashboards)****to a **Folder**. Then, navigate and verify that the **Default Action** has been disabled.

---

## Designer Settings

In addition to the ability to change the default settings****individually, they can also be changed globally across the environment.

1. Navigate to the **System > Settings**and open **Designer Studio Settings**
2. Search for **Row Left Click Action Type**or ****Row Right Click Action Type**** under the GRID header, choose the desired actions, then click SAVE.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2024-08-06_10h58_27.png)
