ADA-C01 Question 285
Single answerGenerate and share Snowsight chartsA Snowflake administrator creates a chart in Snowsight from a worksheet query that summarizes daily order volume by region. The administrator needs to share the visualization with business users who already have access to Snowsight, but those users should see the chart without having to rerun or edit the SQL themselves. Which action should the administrator take to meet this requirement most effectively?
- A
Save the chart to a dashboard and share the dashboard with the business users
- B
Copy the worksheet SQL and email it to the business users so they can recreate the chart in their own worksheets
- C
Export the chart as a CSV file and upload it to an internal file stage for the business users
- D
Grant the business users OWNERSHIP on the worksheet so they can open and view the chart
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The best answer is to save the chart to a dashboard and share the dashboard. In Snowsight, dashboards are the primary feature for presenting and sharing charts built from worksheet query results. This approach aligns with least-privilege administration and with common Snowflake best practices: use dashboards for consumption, use worksheets for authoring and analysis, and avoid over-granting privileges such as OWNERSHIP when view-only sharing is the actual goal. Sending SQL or exporting CSV files may expose underlying logic or data but does not provide a governed, reusable chart-sharing experience. Snowflake documentation on Snowsight dashboards and visualizations supports using dashboards to organize and share charts with other users in Snowsight.
- A. Correct.
Correct. In Snowsight, charts created from worksheet results can be added to dashboards, and dashboards are the intended mechanism for sharing visualizations with other Snowsight users. This allows users to consume the chart in a curated format without needing to recreate the SQL or directly edit the worksheet. It is the most practical and least disruptive way to share a chart internally.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. While users could recreate the chart from the SQL, this does not satisfy the requirement to share the visualization itself in a simple, governed way. It also introduces unnecessary manual effort and inconsistency, since each user would need to build and maintain the chart independently.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Exporting to CSV removes the visualization entirely and only shares raw data. A CSV in a stage is not a Snowsight chart-sharing method and does not provide the business users with the chart experience requested in the scenario.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Granting OWNERSHIP is excessive and inappropriate for simple chart viewing. OWNERSHIP transfers full control and is not a least-privilege approach. In addition, the requirement is to share the visualization for consumption, not to hand over administrative control of the worksheet.
