About an Incorta View
An Incorta View is one of two types of views that you can create in a business schema. The other type of view is a business schema view. Conceptually speaking, you can consider both types of view as being a runtime business view.
You can create an Incorta View with the Analyzer. Here are some of reasons why a schema developer will create an Incorta View:
- Curate the columns exposed in one or more underlying physical schema tables
- Curate the columns exposed in one or more runtime business views
- Implement an individual filter for the view
- Implement a distinct filter for the view
- Implement an aggregated filter for the view
- Implement a measure filter
- Standardize business terminology
- Standardize row-level formulas and calculations
- Standardize aggregated formulas and calculations
The Analyzer supports two types of visualizations for an Incorta View:
As the visualizations differ, they do not support all Incorta View configurations.
A Listing Table supports the following:
- an individual filter
- a distinct filter
An Aggregated Table supports the following:
- an individual filter
- an aggregated filter
- a distinct filter when there is no grouping dimension
- a measure filter
An Incorta View operates independently from other runtime business views, even when in the same business schema. An insight on a dashboard that queries an Incorta View is an applicable insight only for filterable columns from the Incorta View.
