A little more than a year ago I sat out to demystify bindings (or interactions as they are being called from Spring 20). I wrote a blog series covering data selection, data serialization, and data manipulation functions. It turned out to be quite a few blogs and quite a few bindings as well. I figured ...
Custom maps in Einstein Analytics is a brilliant way of portraying your data. I’ve already done a few blogs on the matter (this and this), but all these blogs assume you have the map ready to go. Let’s have a look if you have found a map but it’s not quite ready yet. How do ...
I’ve heard more than once than bindings can be hard and confusing. And if I didn’t believe that, then I only have to look at the most viewed blogs I’ve written and my demystifying binding blog series is by far the winner. In the Spring 20 release, it has become a little bit easier to ...
Before getting started with creating first your Einstein Analytics Plus Stories, there are some things you need to think through and decide.

I find many more being knowledgeable on Einstein Analytics in terms of visualization and data prep, ...
So I decided to fire up my old computer with a very old version of Adobe InDesign so I could go back in time and create an infographic answering the question “Are you ready to build your dashboard?”. If the answer was “No” to any of the questions I would recommend checking out the Einstein ...
In Einstein Analytics we build our dashboards with datasets that we have constructed and run in the Data Manager. We do this because we want to denormalize our data to improve the performance of our queries. This does, of course, come with a price that we do not have real-time data, though we can schedule ...
When you are new to Einstein Analytics and you for the first time have to build a dataset it may go alright, yes there are a few new concepts to understand especially the grain level (or root object) but you can manage. When it comes to making additional modifications in the dataflow afterward that’s where ...
This year Marketing Cloud made some changes to their authentication, the connector we had and still have in Einstein Analytics used the old authentication. Now if you have an installed packed from before summer of 2019 you are okay to use that with the connector we have in Einstein Analytics. But what if you do ...
