{{DISPLAYTITLE:AppBoard Action - Change Diagram Context}}
The "Change Diagram Context" Action was created for the Diagrammer Widget for users to change the model of the diagram in the Widget without having to create a separate Widget for separate models.

== How To Create a Change Diagram Context Action ==

For instructions on adding an Action to a Widget, see the general instructions in [[appboard/2.4/builder/widgets/actions#How_To_Create_an_Action_in_a_Widget|How To Create an Action in a Widget]].

== How To Configure a Change Diagram Context Action ==

Perform the following steps to configure a "Change Diagram Context" Action:

# Follow the instructions above to create the Action in the Widget Actions panel.
# Name: Enter a name for this Action. For convenience, a default name is provided that you may use. The Name is not used anywhere else in AppBoard, and only displayed on this configuration page.
# On selection of:
## Select "any" or "specific" for the type of data selection by the User that will trigger the Action. When selecting "specific", perform the following additional steps:
### Click the Filter button. The Filter Editor is displayed.
### Click Add Rule to create one or more rules that indicate what data should trigger the Action, when selected.
### Click Close to save the Filter settings.
## Select the Data Collection name. When the Widget is run, selection of data in this Data Collection will trigger the Action.
# Click Close to exit.
# Change Diagram Widget: Select the name of the Diagrammer Widget that will be changed with this action.
# Select either "To use Diagram Model:" or "To use Diagram Model by name from selected property:"
#* Select "To use Diagram Model:" to choose the previously created model you would like the Diagram to change to.
#* Select "To use Diagram Model by name from selected property:" to choose a property.
# Click "Close" to complete the creation of a "Change Diagram Context" Action.

== Sample Use Case ==

When showing a network diagram, one might want to have some subnet nodes that when clicked cause the diagrammer to switch to a new diagram depicting the subnet graph -- acting like a topology drill in.
