Fields

Fields are the building blocks of your semantic model: dimensions, measures, data types, and field format.

Overview

• Dimensions — Categorical attributes for grouping and filtering
• Measures — Aggregatable metrics (sum, count, avg, etc.)
• Data Types — string, integer, decimal, date, date_time, boolean, and more
• Field format — Currency, percent, dates, and custom value formatting
