Refer to the exhibit. A data analyst is reviewing the configuration of an executive dashboard. The dashboard refreshes daily at 6:00 AM. Which of the following best describes a potential issue with this dashboard for executive use?

⚠ Common exam trap

CompTIA often tests the principle that the suitability of a visualization depends on the audience and purpose, and the trap here is assuming that a table is always acceptable because it shows all data, ignoring that executives need rapid, high-level insights rather than granular detail.

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

The dashboard uses a table visualization which may not be suitable for quick insights.

An executive dashboard should provide quick, at-a-glance insights, and a table visualization forces the viewer to read through rows of data rather than immediately grasping trends or outliers. For high-level decision-making, visualizations like line charts, bar charts, or KPI tiles are more effective at conveying key metrics without cognitive overload.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
The data sources do not include all necessary tables.
Why it's wrong here
We cannot determine missing data sources from the configuration alone.
✓
The dashboard uses a table visualization which may not be suitable for quick insights.
Why this is correct
Executives typically prefer visual summaries (charts) over raw tables for rapid comprehension.
✗
The alert condition for revenue is set too low.
Why it's wrong here
The threshold of under $1M may be appropriate depending on the business; there is no evidence it is too low.
✗
The refresh schedule is too frequent.
Why it's wrong here
Daily refresh is standard; frequency is not a common issue.
