SPLK-1001 Practice Question: Creating Reports, Dashboards and Visualizations
Which TWO options are valid when adding a panel to a dashboard from an existing report? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse 'adding a panel from a report' with 'adding a report as a link' or assume the report's scheduling applies to the dashboard, when in fact the search is embedded and the panel's behavior is decoupled from the original report's schedule and app context.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
The panel can be added as a table, chart, or single value based on the report's results.
When you add a panel from an existing report to a dashboard, Splunk allows you to choose the visualization type (table, chart, or single value) based on the report's results. This flexibility lets you reuse the report's data while customizing how it is displayed on the dashboard.
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 panel can be added as a table, chart, or single value based on the report's results.
Why this is correct
When adding from a report, you select the visualization type.
- ✗
The panel can only be added to the same app where the report was created.
Why it's wrong here
Panels can be added to dashboards in any app.
- ✗
The report is added as a link to the dashboard.
Why it's wrong here
A panel contains the visualization, not just a link.
- ✓
The report's search string is used as the panel's search, but it can be modified after adding.
Why this is correct
The search is copied and editable in the panel.
- ✗
The report's scheduled run time is inherited by the dashboard.
Why it's wrong here
Scheduling is independent; the panel uses the search on demand or based on dashboard time.
