Tips for Working with Direct Data for Data 360
To improve the performance of dashboards based on Data 360 queries, apply these design principles:
- When possible, create a Data 360 Calculated Insight for complex metrics before using them in Direct Data for Data 360. To avoid additional query times processing joins, include all columns you plan to use in dashboard visualizations or tables.
- Limit the number of queries on a single dashboard page. Instead, spread queries across multiple pages.
- Avoid complex queries that can increase query times. You can also run the dashboard inspector to monitor and track query times.
