In dashboard components, what does a data source of Dashboard Resource indicate?

In the context of dashboard components, when a data source is labeled as a "Dashboard Resource," it indicates that the component will not use the Metric Framework. The Metric Framework is typically a structured approach to measuring and analyzing data, often relying on pre-defined metrics or calculations. However, a Dashboard Resource might represent a more flexible type of data source that is not bound by the formal constraints of a metric structure.

This means that users can directly display or utilize the data without being limited to specific metrics that are predefined. It allows for a variety of data presentations and potentially real-time interactions, depending on how the data source is configured. This characteristic can be beneficial in scenarios where the information required is more dynamic or varies significantly from established metrics.
