Summary

The idea of including this chapter was to give you an overview of the three advanced technologies Einstein Analytics has to build complex and customized dashboards and solutions. The user can use SAQL to retrieve data from the dataset and create advanced lenses. While using SAQL, the user can use different functions such as math functions, string functions, arithmetic functions, and so on. The XMD file can be configured to achieve the formatting of the dashboard, fields, and values. In order to change the formatting using XMD, we need to download the file, make the changes, and upload it again. While doing this, make sure that you have a backup of the original XMD.

Last but not least, Dashboard JSON. Dashboard JSON is used to build advanced dashboards. The Dashboard JSON file defines how the components on the dashboard should interact with each other. Using Dashboard JSON, we can bind static steps with other steps, set the limits, build complex queries, and so on.
