hi i'm in the middle of a course and just learned that other than navigating to various reports etc there is no real interaction available to users looking at a dashboard. at least at the time of that course's creation. that sounds too restrictive to me. is that still true? if a kpi shows info for a specific year on the dashboard, wouldnt it make sense for that user to filter on a different year before being forced to navigate down specific paths?
