๐Ÿ“ย Simplified Field Description

enhancement

We are happy to announce a small but meaningful update to your exploration experience: Simplified Field Description.

โ˜”ย The Problemโ€‹

Data exploration can feelย overwhelmingย when you just want to knowย whatย a field is, notย howย it was built.Previously, hovering over a field displayed everything at once:

  • Field Name & Description
  • Field ID & Data Type
  • Complex SQL Logic

For many users, this created aย "wall of technical text"ย that obscured the actual business definition they were looking for.

โญย Whatโ€™s changedโ€‹

We have redesigned how field details are displayed to prioritize clarity

  • Clean by default: Now, when you hover over a field, we only show you the essentialsโ€”the Label, and the Description. This helps you get the context you need immediately, without the noise.
  • Technical details on demand: Don't worry, we haven't removed the technical details! For Analysts and Editors who need to debug logic or check source paths, you can simply click "Show Definition" (or the expand icon) to reveal the full Model Name, Field ID, and Formula/SQL.
