You can use a variety of menus and options when performing analysis of an interactive report that uses In-Document Analytics. Depending on the style that you use, these options may be different.

Content that uses In-Document Analytics provides users with an interactive interface that allows the generation of real-time, dynamic reports, charts, and dashboards. Its versatility allows you to package a data set with a combination of analytical views, resulting in highly intuitive and interactive self-service business intelligence. This gives you an edge in presentation and analysis, making it easy to develop and share concepts, ideas, and scenarios. An interactive report is a self-contained report, meaning that it contains all the data and JavaScript® within the HTML output file.

You can add comments to the individual cells within an interactive report that use In-Document Analytics capabilities, to include information explaining your data, where it appears. For example, if you include data for Gross Profit, and you would like to include a comment about the decrease over the course of a quarter or year, you could add a comment to the Gross Profit cell that you want to call out. Recipients of this interactive report can view, and reply to your comments. Commenting is only available from the Cell menu on any given cell when creating a report.

Data flows allow you to extract information from data sources, and load it into data targets for future analysis and use. You create data flows from the Web Console by right-clicking an application folder or synonym, and selecting the Flow shortcut menu option to open the data flow canvas.

You can build a data flow from a set of objects that identify data sources, data columns to include, and data targets. A flow is loaded to form a data warehouse, data mart, or any other type of target, containing only the data you need.

You can add filters to interactive reports that are enabled with In-Document Analytics capabilities to control the display of information in the reports and to give your recipients or end-users the ability to focus on a specific set of data for additional analysis. Filters can be created by both the report developer, and the end-user, using the options in the Column menus.
