What indicates that the component on the Dashboard needs to be updated?

The indication that the component on the Dashboard needs to be updated is having changes made in the source report. Dashboards rely on underlying data from source reports to display accurate and relevant information. If any modifications occur in the data or structure of these source reports, such as new fields being added, data being altered, or filters being adjusted, the dashboard components that depend on this information may no longer reflect the most current data. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor the source reports for any changes that necessitate an update of the dashboard components to maintain data integrity and relevance.

Other options do not specifically denote an immediate need for the dashboard components to be updated from a data perspective. Changes to a user’s profile may affect permissions or visibility but not necessarily the data displayed on the dashboard. Archiving the dashboard is a status change rather than a prompt for updating its contents. Alteration of custom settings could impact overall functionality or access but does not directly imply changes to the underlying report data that the dashboard relies on. Thus, the most accurate indication for needing an update centers around changes in the source report.
