Select Action > Incoming Actions to define the Filter Group this filter listens to and is filtered by.

- User Action: Defines valid user-actions for the chart. The response of the chart is determined by the following settings.

  For outgoing actions to influence a given component, the Filter Group must be the same for both components.
- Pop up a window and display a view: Pop up a new View with its components filtered by the dimensions whenever the Filter component is used. Use this option to allow the user to navigate to other Views that you define.
  
  While the new View is active, you cannot select elements from the old View.

    You can optionally append a specific value to the end of the title.
