Dashboards as governance: module quiz

M3.7 module quiz

Ten questions. 80% to pass (8 of 10). Open book, unlimited retakes.

Answers are collapsed under each question. Answer first, then check.


Q1

Dashboards in ZopNight are:

A. Organisation-scoped and org-shared, with a single org-wide default
B. Per-user, with every user holding their own separate default
C. Per-team, with the lead choosing the default
D. Per-role, so Admins and Viewers differ

Show answer

Correct: A. There is no per-user dashboard ownership in v1. Deleting the dashboard set as default automatically clears the pointer so the next read falls back to the All Widgets preset.

Q2

The four presets are:

A. Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Annual views
B. Executive, Engineering, FinOps, All Widgets
C. Admin, Editor, Viewer and Custom
D. Cost, Usage, Governance, Security

Show answer

Correct: B. They are served from memory rather than persisted, so a new org needs no seeding and its default falls back to All Widgets until one is set.

Q3

Attempting to edit or delete a preset returns:

A. 403 Forbidden, with no body
B. 404 Not Found
C. 409 Conflict
D. 405 Method Not Allowed

Show answer

Correct: D. Presets are immutable. Admins clone to customise, which is why the clone path exists as a first-class action rather than a workaround.

Q4

A widget whose required policy the viewer lacks:

A. Is hidden, and the grid reflows around it
B. Renders an “Access restricted” placeholder
C. Blocks the whole dashboard from loading
D. Shows empty data, rendering as zeros

Show answer

Correct: B. Placeholder rather than hide is deliberate: a reflowing grid makes two users’ screenshots of “the same dashboard” incomparable.

Q5

A single widget throwing an error:

A. Unmounts the whole dashboard and shows a single error
B. Retries indefinitely until the query succeeds
C. Falls back to a placeholder via a per-slot error boundary
D. Removes itself from the saved layout entirely

Show answer

Correct: C. Per-widget error containment is a separate mechanism from per-widget RBAC, and both exist so one failure does not take the page with it.

Q6

Widget size tokens are:

A. Free-form pixel dimensions set per widget
B. Wide, Standard and Compact, mapping to fixed grid slots
C. Small, medium, large and extra-large fixed presets
D. Determined by the content the widget renders

Show answer

Correct: B. Fixed slots rather than free-form resize in v1, which is what keeps a shared org dashboard coherent across screen sizes.

Q7

Per-org dashboard limits exist on:

A. Dashboards, widgets per dashboard, per-widget config size and total layout size
B. Dashboards per org only
C. Widgets per dashboard only
D. Nothing at all; every one of those limits is deliberately unbounded by design

Show answer

Correct: A. All four surface as clean errors with stable codes rather than silent truncation, which matters because a truncated layout is a corrupted one.

Q8

The org-wide default dashboard pointer is stored:

A. In the dashboards table
B. In the frontend local store
C. In the org settings store
D. Per user, on their profile

Show answer

Correct: C. Its cleanup on dashboard deletion is owned by the settings owner rather than by the dashboard package, so the cross-table cleanup has a single owner.

Q9

Deleting an organisation:

A. Leaves its dashboards orphaned and unreachable
B. Blocks the deletion for as long as any dashboards still exist
C. Exports the dashboards before removing the org
D. Soft-deletes every dashboard it owns and clears the default pointer

Show answer

Correct: D. Tenant cascade. An orphaned dashboard row referencing a deleted org is the kind of residue that surfaces years later as an unexplained record.

Q10

Setting the org default requires which policy?

A. organisation:update
B. dashboard:create
C. dashboard:update
D. report:update

Show answer

Correct: C. Both the PUT and PATCH paths map to it, so the default-dashboard mutation is authorised by the dashboard policy rather than by an organisation one.
