SPLK-1002 Advanced Visualization and Lookups Practice Question
A dashboard uses a drop-down input to select a server. The drop-down is populated by a search that returns server names. Which setting ensures that the drop-down updates automatically when the underlying data changes?
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
✓
Change the 'refresh' setting on the input
The 'refresh' setting on the input causes the search that populates the drop-down to re-run at intervals, keeping the list current. Token filters, delay, or 'search on change' do not provide automatic periodic updates.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Set the 'delay' option
Why it's wrong here
Delay is for delaying search execution, not for periodic updates.
- ✓
Change the 'refresh' setting on the input
Why this is correct
Refresh re-executes the search at a specified interval, updating the drop-down.
- ✗
Use a token filter
Why it's wrong here
Token filters modify tokens but do not cause automatic updates.
- ✗
Enable 'search on change'
Why it's wrong here
Search on change triggers a new search when a dependent field changes, but not on a schedule.
