3. Importing Dataset

8. Dataflow Performance Improvement
9. View SAQL

Terminologies

1. App – Analog to folder
2. DataSet – Formatted and Optimized data
3. Lenses – Saved exploration from Dataset
4. Measure – Numeric fields (any field that can be measured)
5. Dimension – Group By

10. SFDCDigest – Deriving Data
11. Augment – Joint between digest
12. Faceting – Updating filter to change dashboard content

How many ways to create Dataset

1. DataFlow – Using Add Dataset in DF
2. Create Dataset Button
3. JSON
4. Recipe

Fun Facts

Can you restore DataFlow ?  No. That’s why download and Backup JSON frequently

Can you restore Dataset ?  Yes. Salesforce maintains version of Dataset. Navigate to Dataset dropdown, at bottom of page, there is link to restore dataset

Data Replication

1. Decouples the extract of Salesforce data from your dataflows, letting you run it on a separate schedule
2. As it runs ahead of time, Dataflow performs faster
3. To make it more faster, extraction done in incremental order
4. Few other connector gets available once we enable replication
