When a user does not see their views on the server and receives notifications about extract refresh failures, it indicates a direct impact on the data availability in that user’s views. The extract refresh process is essential as it ensures that the data underlying the views is up to date. If there is a failure in this process, the views that depend on the refreshed data will not be populated correctly, leading to their absence from the server for that user.

This situation implies that without successful refreshes, either due to configuration issues, technical errors in the extraction process, or data source problems, the user's ability to interact with or view this data is severely impacted. Therefore, the linkage between extract refresh failures and unavailable views clearly highlights that the failure of the extract refresh process is the most direct cause for the user's experience.

Other factors, such as user permissions, network issues, or scheduling configuration, may influence accessibility to some extent but do not specifically point to the direct failure of data refresh as the root cause of the visibility issue in the views. Understanding this connection between the refresh process and the state of the views helps clarify why the failure directly impacts the user's experience on the server.
