When are interactive filters typically used?

Interactive filters are typically used in classic report building and dashboards because they allow users to dynamically filter and analyze data in real-time. These filters enhance the user experience by providing the ability to drill down into specific subsets of data without the need to create multiple reports or dashboards.

This interactivity is crucial in a business intelligence context, where users may need to explore data from various angles quickly. In classic report building, interactive filters can help tailor reports to specific requirements, making it easier for users to focus on particular metrics or data points that are essential for their decision-making processes.

In contrast, data entry is focused on capturing information rather than analyzing it, which does not involve the use of interactive filters. Visualization creation is about representing data graphically, while user profiles pertain to permissions and settings related to each user, rather than the interactive capabilities used within reports and dashboards. Therefore, the primary usage of interactive filters aligns best with classic report building and dashboards, where user interaction for real-time analysis is essential.
