Interactivity & controls — quiz
6 questions covering this module. Date ranges, filters, optional metrics and cross-filtering.
One chart ignores the date range control. Why?
- It is broken
- It has its own date range set in Setup
- Wrong data source
- Caching
Answer: It has its own date range set in Setup — Chart-level settings take precedence.
To apply a date control to every page, place it:
- On page one
- In the report header
- In Theme
- In the data source
Answer: In the report header — Header components repeat across pages.
A filter control affects only some charts. Likely cause?
- A bug
- Some charts use a source without that field
- Wrong control type
- Caching
Answer: Some charts use a source without that field — Blended sources are a common reason.
To permanently exclude internal traffic everywhere, filter at:
- Chart level
- Data source level
- Page level
- Group level
Answer: Data source level — It then cannot be accidentally removed on a single chart.
What does cross-filtering do?
- Filters the data source
- Clicking a chart element filters the other charts on the page
- Adds a control
- Blends sources
Answer: Clicking a chart element filters the other charts on the page — Enabled per chart in Setup.
Drill-down requires:
- A blend
- Several dimensions added in hierarchy order
- A date field
- Cross-filtering enabled
Answer: Several dimensions added in hierarchy order — The reader then moves up and down the levels.
