A manager wants to ensure that readers know how recent the information is in a monthly report. Which approach is BEST for allowing users to quickly see when it was last updated?
Include a small note in a footnote and reference it in technical documentation.
Use an automated cycle that updates once a year
Place the date in the legend below the main chart.
Display the most recent update date next to the main heading.
Placing the update date close to the main heading makes it visible and prevents confusion. Hiding the date in a footnote or in technical documentation can lead to overlooked or outdated data. Automatic updates with a reference to a standard cycle do not show the precise date of the update. Displaying it near a legend does not make it as prominent for quick reference.
