Defining and configuring semantic views¶

After you create a semantic view, refine what it contains and how it behaves, either visually in the editor or by editing the definition directly. These topics cover the elements you define in a semantic view and the rules that keep it valid.

• Build and refine a semantic view in the visual editor. See Semantic View Editor.
• Define a logical table from a SQL query instead of a physical table. See Using an SQL query as a logical table in a semantic view.
• Understand the structural and semantic rules a semantic view must satisfy. See How Snowflake validates semantic views.
• Define reusable named filters. See Defining filters for logical tables in a semantic view.
• Parameterize logic with variables. See Using variables in a semantic view.
• Materialize dimensions and metrics to improve performance. See Materializing dimensions and metrics in semantic views.
