New fields to an old view not available

We are adding fields to our tables and but the fields are not appearing in Yellow Fin.


This query:


select *

From alameda_county_care_connect.report_eligibility_and_utilization is “valid query” that Yellowfin “sees.”

When I run:


select *

from alameda_county_care_connect.client_details;

;


In pgAdmin it runs and I see among other fields the five “_text” fields I added to query:

HOWEVER, these fields are not available in YellowFin for me to add to the report.


We are adding fields and they are not being added to the table.

It seems to be a problem when adding fields and querying using freehand sql. The reason we are using freehand sql is because we have different schema's in our DB, and Yellow Fin doesn't seem to like to see multiple schemas in one data source.

Hi Chet,

To clarify here, the field is successfully added to the view, but is not available in the report?

Yes, that is correct.

Hi Chet,

As mentioned in the call, the connection between the view and the underlying data-source is typically pretty static. So any changes made to the underlying data source schema will not be received well by Yellowfin.

A couple ideas:

  • Re-validate the SQL query in the view editor
  • Try "Add Fields":

Let me know if either of these options work for you.
