Actions are extremely powerful, enabling all sorts of use cases, from writeback, to working with Snowpark, even generating specific narratives form your data. Actions create and extend operational use cases such as data cleansing, commenting and even working with other products.

When building dashboards, ensuring that there’s always a selected value in a filter can be crucial for guiding users through data. This feature guarantees that there is always one option selected, preventing users from accidentally deselecting all values, which could result in empty or confusing visuals.

Use Case: Imagine a scenario where users need to compare energy prices across regions. If a user accidentally deselects all filters, the dashboard could display incorrect or incomplete data.

By enforcing Always One Selected Value, you ensure that a region is always chosen, providing a consistent view and preventing data gaps.

This feature helps users focus on a specific data point without leaving the filter empty, ensuring data integrity and improving the decision-making process.
