About Semantic Model Customization
You can customize the semantic model to make the data that you moved into the warehouse more useful for reporting.
You customize your semantic model by creating branches and adding steps to those branches. You use a branch or version to publish your changes to the model. You can apply the model from the branch to a local service instance for testing. When the changes are correct, you can merge that branch with the main branch. You can merge multiple branches with the main branch over time. When you have a set of changes finalized, you can version the main branch and promote that branch to the production environment.
You can customize the model by extending ready-to-use dimensions with additional attributes from another data source, by adding a fact to an existing subject area, and by reorganizing the ready-to-use subject areas to create a new subject area to name a few.
