Launched: Role-playing dimension with AML Extend

Product Releases

Hey everyone :wave:

We’re excited to introduce a new function in AML called Extend that helps you extend and re-use data models, datasets and dashboards easily.

This reusability mechanism is very useful for implementing role-playing dimensions :playground_slide: (among other use cases). Previously, implementing this required users to:

  • :one: Duplicate the same data model and import them into a dataset. When you need to change or add things, you have to manually do so in every duplicated data models.
  • :two: Use one data model but referenced multiple times in a dataset. You have to manually disable multiple relationships and leave only one enabled for it to work.

Now, with AML Extend, you can simply extend a data model into multiple data models playing different roles, and import them into your dataset. Please watch the demo video below to see how it works :point_down:

We’ll release this feature soon, but we believe it’ll help you re-use a lot of existing analytics logics, and reduce manual efforts as well as human errors.
