Apps

Apps are the final publishable product of the SBT workflow. They are a bundle of dependent models that are run together to produce a final set of output tables. Apps are defined in a yaml file under a apps key. The structure of the yaml file is as follows:

apps:
  - name: sql_test_app
    requires:
      - sql_test
      - data_model_test
    config:
      sigma_workbook_id: 4RyJMRqYkqnAFNxxdmugma
      sigma_db_attribute: test_db
      freshness_query: fresh

Field

Description

name

The name of the app, must be unique. Used as unique identifier in the Seek platform.

requires

config.sigma_workbook_id

The id of the Sigma workbook to be used for embedded analytics of this app

config.sigma_db_attribute

The name of the user attribute used in sigma to determine which database to use

freshness_query

The name of the helper query to use to determine the freshness of the app
