In the latest release, Winter 20, we got a lot of help in creating static steps – or as we will be calling them from now on, custom queries – but it can perhaps be a little hard to navigate how it works. So let’s have a look at these custom queries. First of all, ...
By now we have covered most of the basics in a SAQL query, but there is one more thing that you will see a lot when you are working with SAQL and it is filters. So in this third part, we will look closer at filters. Pre-projection Filters When you apply a filter to a ...

When we create dashboards in Einstein Analytics most of us rely on the UI. In the dashboard editor, we click “New Step” select our dataset, define the measure and a grouping whereafter we add it to the dashboard.
