A practical scenario

A reviewer asks what a published chart actually measures. Pair the workbook's glossary and filters with its refresh timestamp and explain the population represented by the view.

Source material to consider

  1. Workbook notes
  2. Metric glossary
  3. Refresh timestamp

Before designing a connection

Keep data freshness visible and avoid presenting filtered samples as the full population.
