Dear all,

I am currently working on building a view for the management team to track KPIs across the entire organization. The organization consists of multiple entities, each using different systems (e.g., SAP, MSSQL, etc.), and as a result, we have multiple data models in the backend.

In the overview view, we want to visualize data from these different models in a single interface. I have created a space that contains one view and multiple knowledge models. I would like to confirm whether this approach aligns with best practices and if it is possible to achieve my goal with this setup.

Looking forward to your insights.

Thank you,

Yuyao

Hello Yuyao,

 

I don’t believe this to be a best practice, but if you are set on displaying data from multiple knowledge models / data models at once on a view, I believe the only way to do this would be in legacy views - each knowledge model’s KPIs would be displayed using separate embedded views, as you can only have one KM assigned to a view. So make a view for each KM, then create a master view with each of these embedded. The limitation here is that you couldn’t have any KPI’s that make use of data in another knowledge / data model, as there isn’t really a way for them to interact with eachother (each KM can only reference one DM)

 

As for best practices, in this scenario I think the best thing to do would to have all of the data within one data model, which would avoid the workaround / limitations above, as well as other limitations not mentioned.
