Wondering what is occurring on the backend and if this a looker or Pigment issue. Setting I need to apply When having it for Results in table the import worked

Access rights in tables

Hello!I have created AR rules to give a person access to one country only. I have verified the access on all blocks through the impersonate feature and everything seems to be working. However, the person doesn’t have access to some tables (though he has access to the correct data in the metrics composing the table)… This message appears:Could you please help me to understand what is happening here?Thanks!Elodie

Changes to Autosave in Sheet View and Blocks

Hello friends, On Friday April 14th, we will be making some changes to the Autosave functionality and the default Autosave behavior when inputting data in Sheet View. What is the “Autosave off” feature that will be released on April 14th? Now Members with Configure Blocks permission will have a block-level setting controlling Autosave.  This setting is now available on all block types and determines if inputs within the block are automatically saved or not. While already existing, the Autosave functionality was changed to expand its functionality to Boards for all types of display modes and not only Sheet view, making it more accessible to Members inputting data on Boards. This change also enables the autosave setting to be consistent across users and views. How does this impact Sheet view? On April 14th, Sheet view’s default behavior will change from Autosave being off to Autosave being turned on. This means Members will no longer have to save inputs before they sync with the rest of

Best way to calculate yield?

Hi Everyone, I’m trying to find a more efficient solution to modeling our yields. We have several dimensions by which we measure yields (region, segment, ramp status, etc...) and currently have separate blocks for each measure which can lead to confusion. I would like to consolidate yield calculations into a few blocks and pivot from there on the necessary dimensions. Any ideas on how to best set up yields?
