I have created a data table and used the EventHandler function to make one of the columns hyperlink to a website when clicked.
What I want to do now is to put this data into Graph Builder and when the points are clicked they open the website pertaining to the row. Is this possible? I have used the column as a label, but this doesn't work as it isn't clickable.
I have attached a small example table where it shows the data table and graph side by side and where the cloumn is labelled - it is this label in the graph I'd like to be hyperlinked.

The Event Handler is a Column Property, just like Value Labels, or Spec Limits. You delete them using
dt:Column)with_EventHandler << delete property("event handler");Hi txnelson,
May I know how to Remove an Event Handler from a column using JSL?
Neither
dt:Column_with_EventHandler << Remove Event Handler;
nor
dt:Column_with_EventHandler << Delete Event Handler;
seem to work!
Can you help?
Thanks and best regards,
Valerio
Try opening your table in JMP 15.0 and creating a scatter or any other visualization in Graph Builder.
The value for the "Link" column will show as a hyperlink in the hover label automatically - click on it to launch the corresponding web page.
You also have the option of not having an expression handler in the data table column (to avoid the issue you described) and have the launching behavior only in the Graph Builder hover labels by taking advantage of a new JMP 15 feature called Gridlets. You could even build the URL on-the-fly based on other column values.
For more details, please check https://www.jmp.com/content/dam/jmp/documents/en/support/jmp15/using-jmp.pdf, page 532.
really good and I'm looking forward to JMP v15 already.
Just one addition to my question. Is there a way that it could not open the links when you click on a row in the data table itself? This could be slightly annoying if I'm still continuing to analyse the data.
Otherwise, brilliant solution.
Keep an eye out for JMP 15.0 early adopter. Just saying. 
Here is an example script that uses Make Row State Handler to do what you want. It does not require your Event Handler, so I remove it. I can be left in if you want it, but it is not required.
Names Default To Here( 1 );
dt = New Table( "click and Link",
Add Rows( 5 ),
New Script(
"where vs. Position",
Graph Builder(
Size( 522, 454 ),
Show Control Panel( 0 ),
Variables( X( :Position ), Y( :where ) ),
Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 3 ) ) )
)
),
New Column( "Position",
Numeric,
"Continuous",
Format( "Best", 12 ),
Set Values( [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] ),
Set Display Width( 56 )
),
New Column( "where",
Numeric,
"Continuous",
Format( "Best", 12 ),
Set Values( [5, 4, 3, 2, 1] ),
Set Display Width( 48 )
),
New Column( "Link",
Character,
"Nominal",
Set Selected,
Set Values(
{"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_and_territories_of_the_United_States",
"https://www.bbc.co.uk/home/five/beta", "https://www.linkedin.com/feed/",

),
Set Display Width( 430 )
),
Set Label Columns( :Link )
);
f = Function( {a},
Show( dt );
If( N Rows( dt << get selected rows ) > 0,
Web( Char( dt:link[((dt << get selected rows)[1])] ) )
);
);
rs = dt << make rowstate handler( f );
Graph Builder(
Size( 522, 454 ),
Show Control Panel( 0 ),
Variables( X( :Position ), Y( :where ) ),
Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 6 ) ) )
);
This could also be done by adding a graphics script to the frame box() in the chart.
gb = Graph Builder(
Size( 522, 454 ),
Show Control Panel( 0 ),
Variables( X( :Position ), Y( :where ) ),
Elements( Points( X, Y, Legend( 6 ) ) )
);
Report( gb )[FrameBox( 1 )] << add graphics script(
If( N Rows( dt << get selected rows ) > 0,
Web( Char( dt:link[((dt << get selected rows)[1])] ) )
)
);
