What should you verify if an indicator is not displaying expected results?

When troubleshooting an indicator that is not displaying expected results, it's crucial to first verify the filtering criteria applied to the data source. Filters dictate which data points are pulled into the analysis. If the criteria set for the filter are too restrictive or configured incorrectly, it can lead to a situation where valid data is excluded from the aggregation, thus producing misleading or unexpected results.

In the context of analytics, the data source's filters are instrumental in shaping the output of any indicator. For instance, if a filter is set to only include data from a specific time period or a particular category that does not match the data's characteristics, the indicator will not reflect what is genuinely occurring in the broader dataset.

While the layout configuration of the dashboard and target value configuration are relevant to how the information is presented and compared, they do not influence the dataset itself. Similarly, the number of daily collection jobs may affect how current the data is but doesn't directly impact the filters in place that determine the scope of the data included in the analysis.

Focusing on filtering criteria will lead to resolving discrepancies in analysis, ensuring that the indicator correctly reflects the underlying data set.
