Dive into row-level data

Entities let you effortlessly drill down to row-level data behind your metrics, whether you're analyzing customer behavior, product performance, or order details—even if the entity and metric come from different tables.

Simply click on a line, bar, or rank chart to explore connected entities. Choose the entity you want, and Steep will generate a filtered list with row-level details.

Semantic graph

Say hello to the semantic graph

The semantic graph is a dynamic way to define data relations across tables, making creating and updating metrics easier than ever. It also let’s you connect entities to metrics built from different tables.

Why it's a game-changer:

  • Dynamic joins: Only necessary tables are queried with the semantic graph, making querying more time and cost-efficient.
  • Powerful definitions: Define metrics and entities across multiple tables without relying on static joins.
  • Scalability: Easily edit metrics, entities and the semantic graph as your business and database evolve.
