A manager requests a report that returns results based on a user's profile. Which of the following best describes this type of report?

If a report adapts based on who is viewing it, it’s a dynamic report. This type generates on demand using parameters tied to the user’s profile—like their role, department, permissions, or preferences—so each person sees results tailored to them. The data and presentation can change for different users even from the same underlying dataset. Real-time reports focus on showing data as it updates, which isn’t about personalization. Static or snapshot reports are fixed at creation and don’t adjust to the viewer’s profile, so they wouldn’t tailor results to an individual.
