Brickable Queries

Sometimes it is necessary for projects to create plenty of queries.
Often makes it sense that some queries contain a more major view and some queries expand this major view to a more specific one.

This makes it currently necessary to create one major query with the major view.
This query is saved as a copy and the copy is extended by the specific part.

If the major query is been changed afterwards, this change is not happening in the specific query.
Therefor it is necessary to again copy and extend the copy of the major query.

This is a stupid and error prone process as it might be overseen to create a new copy if something changes and you have already plenty of queries coped from the specific one.

If it would be possible to add to a query another query as a "basic brick", it would be possible to easily create plenty of queries based on one other query.
If this base/major query changes, all other queries also change.
For sure - the queries containing the brick are not allowed to change something of the brick otherwise it would break the dependency.

Please add the possibility to add queries to other queries: query bricks

    - The EWM RFE Review board looked at this and decided to keep it on the Backlog as an uncommitted candidate for a future release.

    Nevertheless, let me answer your request for more information.

    Using Report builder is really the same issue.
    Also in Report Builder you are not allowed to use "brickable reports". Creating one master report and refine it by copying and fortifying it with more information/filters makes it necessary to change not only the master report, but all reports which where copied and refined, as soon as one step changes in the master report.


    In addition:
    Report builder is not an option to replace each and every query. It is not so easy to build up, it is (in our case) not on live data but on data warehouse and some cases cannot be fullfilled using report builder.

    But again: Even if everything would work with report builder - it is also not possible using bricks in here!
    So - no solution at all!

    This is curious.
    Why can developer updates only be seen using the RFE portal, which is discontinued and replaced by AHA!?
