Upstream Table Was Modified

(e.g., New Column Added)

Scenario

A data engineer added a new column to an existing source table; For example, a region_type field was added to support segmentation by store type (urban, suburban, rural). Since the table structure changed, and this new column is relevant to end-user analysis, you’ll want to expose it in the semantic layer and add it as a new attribute.

Steps to solve

  1. Go to “Store” concept
  2. Click "Modify" → "Edit base query SQL"
  3. Add “region_type” field to the base query CTE
  4. Save your changes
  5. Once all changes have been made, click "Submit changes". Jedify will notify you when the new concept is ready for review.
  6. Review the new base query and attributes: Approve or decline changes
  7. Verify the new concept: Ask Jedify questions about store types to make sure it correctly uses the new field
  8. Ready to go live? Click ‘Verify’ to publish.
