Question: How are models used?
Models are the unit of measure for an atomic model building process. When the model building process is complete, the model is the final built list of gold-layer objects to be used for end processes, such as reporting, AI workflows, or uses.
Every Transformation Task must be associated with one model. The Entity, Entity Columns, and Entity dependency columns for that model will then appear within that task's Configuration.
WARNING: A model change will be reflected for all associated tasks!
For example: Task A and Task B are both associated with Model P.
If a user makes changes to an Entity within Task A's configuration, those changes will also take effect for Task B's configuration, as they share the same Model P.
This table displays a list of all models currently in your environment. You can view a model's name, description, and toggle it active or inactive.
Creation
To create a new model, click on "New Record".
Click "New Record" in the upper right hand corner to create a new model.
This will bring up the model creation modal. Fill out the name (required) and the description (optional) before clicking create.
Fill in the name and optional description fields. Then click "Create."
You can see this new model exists in the Model tab.
Activate your Model!
Make sure to toggle the model ACTIVE in order to start using it. Inactive models will not be built by the Empower system, even if associated with a task.
