When Web Intelligence is in Interactive MODE, one can create variables, input controls, add REPORT FILTERS, tables and charts in the view mode itself. This is not possible in the NORMAL Java report panel.

The advantage of interactive mode is for power users, who want to do further manipulations on an existing report. Since, it does not allow user to modify queries or existing variables in the report, but allows doing the above mentioned activities on top of the report, it provides a very good means for analysis by the power users without changing the CORE report in any way.
