- QUOTE: A view declaration defines a list of fields (dimensions or measures) and their linkage to an underlying table or derived table. In LookML a view typically references an underlying database table, but it can also represent a derived table.
A view may join to other views. The relationship between views is typically defined as part of a explore declaration in a model file.
In the Looker app, view names appear at the front of dimension and measure names to qualify what view the field belongs to.
