SPLK-1001 Practice Question: Creating Reports, Dashboards and Visualizations
Which THREE actions are possible when editing a dashboard in Studio?
⚠ Common exam trap
Splunk often tests the misconception that you can edit a report's search directly from Dashboard Studio, when in fact reports are separate entities that must be modified independently.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Set a custom time range for the dashboard.
In Splunk Dashboard Studio, you can set a custom time range for the entire dashboard via the 'Time Range' picker in the editor. This overrides the default time range and applies to all panels that do not have their own explicit time range set, allowing consistent temporal scoping across the dashboard.
