A recent server migration applied an update to dataset naming conventions. Multiple users are now reporting stale information in an existing dashboard. The date in the dataset confirms a successful data refresh. Which of the following should a data analyst do first?

Question

Accepted Answer

A. Confirm the dashboard is pointed to the newest dataset. If dataset naming conventions changed after a server migration, an existing dashboard might still be referencing the old dataset name or an outdated connection, leading to stale information even if the data itself is refreshed. Confirming the dashboard's data source ensures it points to the correct, updated dataset.

Answer

B. Filter the data in the dashboard. Filtering data in the dashboard would not resolve the issue of stale underlying data if the dashboard is connected to the wrong source.

Answer

C. Escalate user permissions on the server. User permissions are unlikely to be the cause of stale data in a dashboard, especially if the data refresh itself was successful.

Answer

D. Verify that the dashboard subscription is not expired. An expired dashboard subscription would typically prevent access or updates entirely, not just display stale data while allowing access.
