Exam 1z0-1177-26 Topic 1 Question 69 Discussion

A view is a visual representation of the results returned by an Oracle Analytics analysis. After criteria determine the columns, filters, calculations, and query logic, views control how those analytical results are presented to the consumer. A single analysis can therefore expose the same underlying query results through several different representations.
Oracle Analytics supports views such as tables, pivot tables, graphs, trellises, gauges, narratives, performance tiles, and other visualization types. This separation between analysis criteria and presentation allows authors to choose the most appropriate representation without rebuilding the underlying analytical query.
Views do not define the original attributes selected for the analysis; that occurs through the Criteria tab and Selected Columns. They also do not automatically activate subtotals for every analysis. Totals are explicitly configured where required. Conditional formatting is a separate presentation capability, while dashboard prompts are independently created filtering objects.
Oracle defines a view as a visual representation of analysis results and states that additional views can be added to visualize the same data in different ways. Therefore, option C precisely expresses the architectural purpose of views.
