1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving an analytics workflow comprising a sequence of tools, each tool in the sequence performing a data analytics function;
executing the analytics workflow to generate a result item;
generating an interactive element for a tool in the sequence based on the data analytics function of the tool in the analytics workflow;
applying the interactive element to the tool to update the analytics workflow, the interactive element adapted to receive a user input and to trigger an operation of the tool based on the user input; and
re-executing the updated analytics workflow for processing a data file to generate a new result item representing an outcome of the processing of the data file, the re-executing comprising triggering the operation of the tool based on the user input and triggering operations of tools subsequent to the tool in the sequence of tools.
