Which dashboard component displays a summary of metrics from reports?

Table
Gauge
Chart
Metric

The correct answer is: Metric

A Metric component on a Salesforce dashboard is specifically designed to provide a quick snapshot of key performance indicators by displaying a single value or a summary of metrics from underlying reports. This component is ideal for highlighting an important figure, such as total sales for a specific period, enabling users to immediately assess performance at a glance. In contrast, a Table presents detailed data from reports, showing various values in a structured format but lacking the succinctness of the Metric component. A Gauge is used to visualize progress towards a goal, displaying a value in relation to a target but not summarizing multiple metrics. A Chart can display trends over time or comparisons among different data points, but it focuses more on visual representation rather than summarization. By focusing on providing a singular, focused metric, the Metric component serves the purpose of summarizing key performance indicators effectively for quick decision-making.
