Star Schema and Snowflake Schema? Why is it not a thing in DOMO?
It's a very common and even a recommended practice to do data warehousing design when you're analyzing/visualizing data but why is it not a thing in DOMO? It seems like you have to create 1 whole big and gigantic FACT Table every time you want to analyze something when you're working with an enterprise data level. And what…
Beast Mode Description
Similar to how you can describe individual columns in a dataset (via the dataset schema view), a useful new feature could be the ability to describe beast modes.

Give Schema Management Toolkit the ability to set a default value when adding a new column
When you add a new column — via Schema Management in the toolkit — to a dataset that is either partitioned or updated by appending, it would be nice to be able to set a default value for the column so you don't have to go through contortions to update the older records.
How can I fix a workbench job where the Schema is locked and doesn't match the dataset?
Hi, everyone! I'm running into an issue with the workbench and can't seem to find a solution. One of my jobs has the work bench schema messed up and is pulling nonexistent headers.

How do I create a Merge Key for Azure Synapse SQL Connector?
We have a large dataset that we update daily, we want to change from the "Replace" update setting to the "Merge" setting. It asks for a "Merge Key Location" - the input field just continuously tries to load something How do we switch to the Merge update method?
Create DataSet API is not creating schema anymore.
This was working before. I am trying to create a dataset with a schema of 2 columns. The dataset creation is succesful but it is getting created without any columns in it. Even the example given in developer.domo.com doesn't work. I tried both dataset and Stream APIs. In both cases the API successfully created dataset but…
friendly naming or information in filters
Hello Domo Community We are looking for a friendlier way to present the available fields in the card filters, I understand that I can create Beast Mode of the fields but this doubles the amount of fields available to the user and would generate more doubts than it solves. Is there any way we can assign an alias in the same…
