Actions on URL parameters are configured in the dashboard settings. The configuration options you choose for a URL parameter as well as the configuration options set on dashboard target elements determine the types of actions you can configure.
Note:
It is recommended that you add URL parameters after all dashboard elements have been added and configured.Add URL parameters

Only actions that are possible are listed. If a specific parameter-to-target pair is not listed, that type of interaction is not possible. If a listed parameter-to-target pair is not available during dashboard configuration, the specific target element's configuration prevents the action.
