Skip to main contentOverview
A dimension will always consist of an entity
(e.g. order, customer) and a dimension
, which is a
qualifier that specifies a certain attribute of the entity
. Like with metrics, the entity
and dimension
combination is the majority of what you’re looking for when locating a dimension or typing a dimension in a query.
As such, entity
and dimension
will always appear next to each other, with any modifiers
appearing first.
{{ modifier }}_{{ entity }}_{{ dimension }}
Examples
order_index
, where order
is the entity
and index
is the dimension
that specifies the attribute of the order
product_variant_title
, where product_variant
is the entity
and title
is the dimension
that
specifies the attribute of the product variant
In some cases, dimension columns will have modifiers. As with metrics, modifiers will fall before the entity
.
Examples with modifiers
primary_order_payment_gateway
, where order
is the entity
, payment_gateway
is the dimension
, and primary
modifies this entity_dimension
combination
most_recent_refund_date
, where refund
is the entity
, date
is the dimension
, and most_recent
modifies this entity_dimension
combination
