Renamed Columns for Clarity
-
- Example: Your data team renamed a column in the source table (e.g., from cust_id to customer_id) for clarity and consistency. To avoid confusion or broken logic, you'll need to update the semantic layer to reflect the new column name.
- Steps to solve:
- Go to a relevant concept or metric
- Click "Modify" → "Edit base query SQL"
- Replace the column’s name in the base query CTE
- Save your changes
- Once all changes have been made, click "Submit changes". Jedify will notify you when the new entity is ready for review.
- Review the new entity: Make sure that the column was successfully renamed in the base query and all underlying attributes and dimensions. Then, approve or decline the changes.
- Verify the new entity: Ask Jedify questions about the renamed column and make sure it successfully refers to the new column name.
- Ready to go live? Click ‘Verify’ to publish.
- Repeat this process for each entity that refers to this column
