Interactivity & controls — flashcards
One card per lesson — 3 in this module. Recall the key points, then check. 3 cards. Click a card to flip, or use the arrow keys and space bar.
Date range controls — what are the key points?
Chart-level date ranges override the page control · Put a date control in the report header to apply it across all pages · Previous year beats previous period for seasonal data Read the lesson
Filters and filter controls — what are the key points?
Filters are fixed by you; controls are changed by the reader · A control only affects charts whose source contains that field · Data-source level filters cannot be accidentally removed Read the lesson
Cross-filtering and interactions — what are the key points?
Cross-filtering makes clicking a chart filter the whole page · Drill-down replaces several charts with one hierarchy · Fewer, well-chosen interactions get used; many get abandoned Read the lesson
