How can you enable users to filter a real-time dashboard interactively?

• A. Add a base query to the dashboard.
• B. Add parameters to the dashboard.
• C. Add multiple pages to the dashboard.
• D. Add a dedicated data gateway.

Answer: (B)

Allowing users to filter a real-time dashboard interactively comes from exposing inputs that drive what data is shown. By adding parameters to the dashboard, you give users controls—like region, date range, or category—that are bound to the underlying queries. When a user changes a parameter, the dashboards’ visuals fetch or display data using those new parameter values, so the view updates in real time to reflect the filter.

Adding a base query defines where data comes from but doesn’t by itself provide a user-facing way to change what’s displayed. Adding multiple pages simply changes navigation or organization, not interactivity. A dedicated data gateway is about connecting to on-prem data sources securely, not about enabling end-user filtering.
