Use the Reports Metadata Bridge to create a semantic layer from your most-used Lightning Experience report types. The bridge analyzes your reports, creates the relevant objects in Data 360, and generates a valid semantic model in four steps: selection of source reports, data lake object (DLO) creation, data model object (DMO) mapping, and semantic model generation. Use your semantic model in your Tableau Next workspace to build metrics, visualizations, based on the semantic layer and provide your users with conversational analytics.
