Step 8: Creating a Dashboard Prompt in Oracle Analytics Cloud

We want to prompt our users to choose a product, city, year and customer segment; and filter our analysis based on these prompted values.

For this purpose, we have to create a dashboard prompt first. Then, we will modify our analysis to add filters linked to the dashboard prompt.

Finally, we will create a simple dashboard which contains the prompt and the analysis.
