What occurs if you open a saved view that includes references to missing data?

When you open a saved view that includes references to missing data, the appropriate outcome is that Analytics ignores the references to the missing data. This means that while the saved view is still accessible and loads without issues, any data that is unavailable will simply not be displayed, allowing the rest of the dashboard to function normally.

This design choice helps maintain user experience, as it prevents the entire dashboard from becoming unusable due to a few missing data points. The system is built to accommodate such scenarios, allowing users to still glean valuable insights from the available data, while maintaining the integrity of the overall structure of the saved view.

Therefore, even though there might be elements or metrics that aren't populated due to the missing data reference, you can still work with the elements that are present without encountering major interruptions in functionality.
