Building an Analytic Model (Query Builder)

Top  Previous  Next

Overview

 

Analytic Models (or queries) are used to feed dashboards designed with the Analytic Dashboard Designer. Generally, models are written for performing business analysis and should be written with the end user in mind (e.g. using decipherable return names, etc.). In addition to the query, you can leverage Parameters, Field/List Descriptions and Permissions.

 

Query Builder makes building Analytic Models accessible to users who are unfamiliar with writing SQL.
