Why is My Decal Missing from My Part in SOLIDWORKS?

Problem

This article describes how to resolve the issue of a missing decal, after the decal is applied to the part. A common issue users find, after a decal is added to a SOLIDWORKS part, is that the decal disappears. For instance, in the image below, one can clearly see there is a decal applied to the highlighted face in the Decal PropertyManager, but the decal is not visible.
