Create Your First Model (Studio)
Aptrics Studio is the visual interface for building your semantic layer. It's where you define metrics, create dimensions, establish relationships, and build dashboards—all without writing code.
This guide introduces you to Studio's interface and shows you how to start building your semantic layer.
Studio Interface
Main Dashboard
The Studio dashboard shows your project structure including metrics, dimensions, models, and dashboards. Use the left sidebar to navigate between different sections and components.
Metric Builder
Create and edit metrics using the visual metric builder. Define aggregations, apply filters, set granularity, and specify data types. The builder provides real-time previews of your metrics against live data.
Dimension Management
Manage dimensions that add context to your metrics. Define hierarchies, establish relationships, and configure how dimensions appear in queries and dashboards.
Query Explorer
Test your metrics and dimensions with the integrated query explorer. Build ad-hoc queries, visualize results, and verify that your semantic layer produces the expected data.
