ADM-201 - Data and Analytics Management - Section 6.3

Create dashboards and configure analytics sharing, including dashboard components, running user context, dynamic dashboards, and folder sharing.

Build dashboards from source reports using chart, gauge, metric, and table components, and recognise that a standard dashboard shows data through the lens of a single running user. Use dynamic dashboards to show each viewer their own data and folder sharing to control who can run, edit, or manage reports and dashboards.

At Kwinana Freight, each of forty account executives needs a single sales dashboard that shows only the opportunities they personally own, without the administrator building and maintaining forty separate dashboards. Which dashboard configuration meets this requirement?

  • ABuild one dynamic dashboard so that each viewer sees the data they are able to access as themselves. Correct
  • BBuild one standard dashboard and set the running user to each executive's own manager so figures roll up correctly.
  • CBuild one standard dashboard, set the running user to a system administrator, and rely on sharing rules to filter each viewer.
  • DBuild forty standard dashboards, one per executive, and place each in the owner's personal folder.
A dynamic dashboard shows each viewer their own accessible data from a single build, unlike a standard dashboard tied to one running user. A standard dashboard always renders through one fixed running user, so all viewers see identical data; a dynamic dashboard instead runs in the context of the logged-in user, letting one build display each person's own records according to their access.

Why A is correct: A dynamic dashboard runs as the logged-in viewer, so a single build shows each account executive only the opportunities they own or can access, with no per-user duplication.

Why B is wrong: A standard dashboard renders for every viewer through one running user, so setting it to a manager would show that manager's data to everyone, not each executive's own opportunities.

Why C is wrong: The running user's access alone determines what a standard dashboard shows; sharing rules do not re-filter it per viewer, so every executive would see the administrator's full pipeline.

Why D is wrong: This produces the exact maintenance burden the requirement rules out, and personal folders cannot be shared, so it is neither scalable nor the intended tool for viewer-specific data.
