Review Objects in the Base Semantic Model (Beta)
During field mapping, the Reports Metadata Bridge shows source objects that are already in the base semantic model so that you focus on the objects that the extend flow adds.
When you extend an existing semantic model, the Reports Metadata Bridge doesn't include source objects that are already present in the base semantic model. At each field mapping step, the bridge separates source objects into two groups so that you know what's new and what already exists.
Field Mapping and Data Lake Object Generation
On the DLO mapping step, the bridge splits source objects across two tabs and a separate section:
- Require Action tab - source objects that need a DLO created before you can continue.
- Mapped tab - source objects with a target DLO already mapped for the extended semantic model.
- Already in the Semantic Layer section - source objects that the base semantic model already includes. These entries are read-only, and the bridge doesn't create new DLOs for them.
Complete DLO setup for the source objects on the Require Action tab, review the entries on the Mapped tab, and then continue to DMO mapping. See Map Fields and Generate Data Lake Objects for the shared steps.
Field Mapping and Data Model Object Generation
On the DMO mapping step, the bridge uses the same layout.
- Require Action tab - source objects that need a DMO mapping before you can continue.
- Mapped tab - source objects with a target DMO already mapped for the extended semantic model.
- Already in the Semantic Layer section - source objects mapped to DMOs in the base semantic model. The bridge indicates whether each existing DMO is Standard or Custom. These entries are read-only.
Complete DMO setup for the source objects on the Require Action tab, review the entries on the Mapped tab, and then continue to the semantic model generation step. See Map Fields and Generate Data Model Objects for the shared steps.
