Optimized Custom Fields for V3 Analytics only

This subject area has custom fields that are optimized to reduce the query time when they are used in filters. Optimized custom fields are in folders where the name ends with Optimized Custom Fields or Optimized Custom Metrics, such as Account Optimized Custom Fields and Opportunity Optimized Custom Metrics. Numeric custom fields, such as those with a type of CUR, INT, or NUM, are available as metrics in the optimized custom metrics folder, if the record type is the driving object in a specific subject area. For example, the Account record type is the driving object in the Account History subject area.

Optimized Filtering Fields

This subject area has fields that are optimized for reducing the query time when they are used in filters. Optimized fields end with the words Code or UTC. For example, the Account dimension has an Account Type field. There is also an Account Type Code field, which is the optimized version of the Account Type field. Similarly, there is an Indexed Date UTC field, which is the optimized version of the Indexed Date field. Using the optimized field in the filter generates faster queries. This method is faster than using the standard field. For information on using optimized filtering fields, see Using Optimized Filtering Fields. The following dimensions in this subject area have optimized filtering fields:

• Account
• Contact
• Opportunity
• Order
• Owned By User
• Product

Usage Notes

This subject area has multiple dimensions, but you must take care not to mix dimensions indiscriminately. Not all combinations of dimensions and metrics yield useful results.

• The metric ‘Number (#) of Orders’ applies only to the Order dimension which can be rolled up by direct relationship (Account, Contact, Date, Opportunity, and Owner dimensions) but not by the Product dimension, because there is no direct relationship between the Product and Order dimensions.
• The Product dimension is only associated with Order Item, you can still report Product with Order details through the Order dimension.
