Create a Dimension Graphical Calculation View (XS Advanced)

Create a new file called models/.hdinamespace under /db/src.

Although there is no need to use namespaces in general, calculation views are consumed from external reporting tools best with namespaces

Use the following code in the file

{
    "name":    "db.models",
    "subfolder": "ignore"
}

Save and close the file.

If you do not see the file, go to View-> Show hidden files.

Right-click on the models folder and create a new calculation view

Call it PRODUCTS and choose type DIMENSION and click Create
