Component ID question

Hi ​@Michael_Soprano, you can share them using the ‘Shared Metrics & Dimensions' option in the Data Management menu (the same place you alter/add connections & data views). For derived fields, the component ID has to match I believe yes- while for non-derived fields, the schema has to be the same. Which means…. They can only be shared to data views using the same connection. Otherwise, you need to re-create for each connection.

Hi ​@Michael_Soprano 

Yes — for Workspace to work across multiple Data Views, components must have the same Component ID.

• Workspace uses Component ID (not name) to identify metrics/dimensions 
• If the same ID exists in another Data View it works 
• If IDs differ component will break. 

Adobe confirmed here in the documentation ; https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/analytics-platform/using/cja-dataviews/component-settings/overview 

Check the Component ID section -  Key points from document 

• “Component ID … is used by APIs and Workspace to reference the component” 
• “Each component in a data view must be unique” 
• “You can use the same component ID in other data views” 
• “If you use the same component ID in other data views, you can make Workspace projects compatible across data views” 

Hope this helps. 

Thank you.
