New Features and Improvements

AtScale contains the following new features and improvements.

Support for sharing objects across repositories

AtScale now enables you to share objects (such as dimensions) across multiple repositories.

To support this functionality, the AtScale Semantic Modeling Language (SML) has a new object type called packages. You can use package files to define additional repositories whose objects can be used in the current repository.

note

As a result of this change, AtScale no longer supports Git submodules.

For more information on packages, see Working with Packages and the AtScale SML Object Documentation on GitHub.

Configure catalog/model permissions before deploying

AtScale has a new global setting, catalog.deployment.restriction.enabled, that enables you to restrict the default permissions on deployed catalogs and models. When this setting is enabled, deployed catalogs/models can only be accessed by the user who deployed them by default. Access can then be expanded as needed via the catalog's Permissions tab.

This setting is disabled by default.

For more information, see Catalog Settings.

Queries page now in Design Center

The Queries page is now available in Design Center, enabling all users to view and monitor queries on their models. You can access the Queries page from the main navigation bar.

For more information on the Queries page, see Queries Page.

Preview model data via the Model Properties panel

You can now preview model data via the Model properties panel. This panel enables you to view and drill down through the dimensions and metrics your models contain at a high level; for example, you can view all dimensions in a model as well as their hierarchies and levels.

To access the Model properties panel, open a model from the Repo Browser.

For more information on the Model properties panel, see Preview Model Data.
