Dear Domo-Crowd,
we are starting a project to rename measures and dimensions in our datasets. Basically we need to clean up our measure/dimension-namings. As Domo-Cards use the names of the measures/dimensions as identifications, this would screw up all our cards. I was wondering if anyone in this community already went through this process and can share his experience?
This is the procedure, that we we want to go for:
1. Create new datasets with the final measure/dimension-names and a mapping from old_measure/dimensions -> new_measure/dimensikon
2. Download the json-files for all cards via API and change the datasource and apply old_measure_name -> new_measure_name.
3. Upload the changed cards to the Pages.
-> We did a similar process already and experienced problems with breaking different formats in the cards (sorts, filters, colours...). To avoid this the next time I am currently "studying" the JSON-file, which is created via API "backup-card" to find out where and how all information is stored.
I was not able to find any further documentation on these JSON-files, if someone has more knowledge about or can share some documentation with me, he would made my day.
So, I would be interested if someone had the same issue and solved it differently.
Or if someone of you already went through an intense studying of the JSON-file from "back-up card" and can share his findings.
Thanks a lot!
