What article on segment.com/docs is affected?

https://segment.com/docs/unify/data-graph/linked-events/

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

Hi,
One of my customers was testing Linked Events & realized that our Data Graph not only supports tables but also custom views created on top on a table.

Views are really helpful for our customers as they let our end users restrict the columns that Segment has access to.

Could you edit these sections on this page?

  • Under Supported Data Warehouses for Bigquery, "Add your credentials to the database that has tables with the entities you want to enrich your event with" should be changed to "Add your credentials to the database that has tables_/views_ with the entities you want to enrich your event with".
  • Under Defining Entities, "The entity corresponds to a table in the warehouse that represents that entity." should be changed to "The entity corresponds to a table or a view in the warehouse that represents that entity.".
  • Under Defining Entities, "Defines the table reference. In order to specify a connection to your table in Snowflake, a fully qualified table reference is required: [database name].[schema name].[table name]." should be changed to "Defines the table_/view_ reference. In order to specify a connection to your table_/view_ in Snowflake, a fully qualified table reference is required: [database name].[schema name].[table_/view_ name].".
  • Under Defining Entities, "The unique identifier for the given table. Should be a column with unique values per row." should be changed to "The unique identifier for the given table_/view_. Should be a column with unique values per row.".
  • Under Defining Entities, "Indicates if you plan to also reference the entity table for Linked Events." should be changed to "Indicates if you plan to also reference the entity table_/view_ for Linked Events.".
  • Under Configure the sync schedule, "You can schedule how often you want Segment to cache the table data for Linked Events." should be changed to "You can schedule how often you want Segment to cache the table_/view_ data for Linked Events.".

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Shraddha
