A citywide dashboard lets users drill from an enterprise KPI to a department and then to a team, but filters reset at each level and comparisons stop making sense. What analytic UX requirement should be enforced?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Drilling without keeping filters is like zooming a map and suddenly jumping to a different country—you lose the neighborhood you were studying. Keep the same time window, geography, and other filters as you go city → department → team. Otherwise the 'detail' isn't detail of the same question.
Full Explanation
Coherent drill paths preserve dimensional context so lower-level views remain subsets of the higher-level selection. When filters reset, users compare incompatible populations and draw invalid conclusions. BI standards should require context inheritance (with clear overrides) across hierarchical navigation.
