{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Once the filter context is applied, users can filter with the Super Filter slicer and add comments, annotations, or perform actions in Analytics+, Inforiver Reporting Matrix, or Writeback Matrix. These will reflect based on the applied filter context
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

When using the **Inforiver suite of visuals**, you don’t need to create any **DAX measures** to configure filter context. Follow the steps mentioned above, and that's it! Inforiver handles the rest automatically, allowing visuals to **communicate seamlessly** and respond dynamically based on the active filter selections — all with just a few clicks.
