C_BOWI_40 · Question #26
You try to select a number of data objects from the Data tab to drag into a report, but some of them are grayed out and in italics. Which statement explains this behavior?
The correct answer is B. Some of the selected objects are not synchronized. Objects that appear grayed out and in italics in the Data tab are from a data provider that is not synchronized with the data provider of the other selected objects.

Why each option
Objects that appear grayed out and in italics in the Data tab are from a data provider that is not synchronized with the data provider of the other selected objects.
Restricted objects would be fully hidden or blocked by security, not rendered in a grayed-out italic style that still allows the user to see them.
In Web Intelligence, when a report contains multiple data providers, objects from different providers that are not linked through a merged dimension cannot be used together in the same block. Those incompatible objects are displayed grayed out and in italics to signal they are not synchronized with the currently selected objects, preventing invalid cross-provider combinations.
Differing data formats between objects do not trigger the grayed-out italic display behavior in the Data tab.
Objects sharing the same data type can still be unsynchronized across data providers; data type compatibility alone does not cause the italic grayed-out appearance.
