In the context of Oracle Analytics reports, what is a 'prompt'?

A 'prompt' in the context of Oracle Analytics reports is an interactive element that enables users to filter data dynamically. This functionality allows users to customize the data displayed in the report based on their specific needs or criteria. Users can select values or parameters through prompts, and the report will then adjust accordingly to show information that aligns with those selections.

This interactivity enhances the user experience by providing a tailored view of data, allowing for more meaningful insights and analysis. Prompts often serve to make reports more engaging, as users can explore various scenarios by changing the values they select in the prompts, resulting in a more dynamic and user-responsive reporting process.

The other choices describe elements that do not accurately capture the purpose of prompts in Oracle Analytics. For instance, while prompts do not restrict data access, they actually facilitate broader exploration of data through user-driven filtering. Additionally, prompts are not a summary of report findings or a static requirement for all reports, making option B the clear and correct understanding of what a prompt is within this context.
