We use modules heavily in our implementation and apparently I can’t create a dataset view in this context.

I have a dataset like this one :

```auto
use models { 
  dim_cab_site
}

Dataset licences {
  __engine__ : 'aql'
  label: "Licences"

  models: [
    dim_cab_site
  ]

  view {
    model dim_cab_site { }
  }

  relationships: [
  ]
}

```

Holistics returns this error : `Error: In View{}, Model 'dim_cab_site' not found`  
I tried to add the name of the module before the name of the model but it does not work either.

Could you help me with this ?

Hi @dacou ,  
We have supported your use case in the latest release.  
For now, models imported explicitly with `use` can be used in Dataset view.

```auto
use models { 
  dim_cab_site
}

Dataset licences {
  ...
  view {
    model dim_cab_site { }
  }
}

```

This also works with aliased models too:

```auto
use models { 
  dim_cab_site: site
}

Dataset licences {
  ...
  view {
    model site { }
  }
}

```

Please kindly check this again and let us know if there are any problems.  
Thank you for your patience.
