Creating a LookML Project

After configuring a Looker connection, AtScale can deploy models directly to your Looker Git repository. To use the models in Looker, you need to create a corresponding LookML project.

Prerequisites

• Ensure a connection is created as described in Creating Looker Connection.
• Review Creating a new LookML project in the Looker documentation.

Procedure

In Looker, create a new LookML project:

1. Go to Develop > Manage LookML Projects.

2. Click New LookML Project.

3. Complete in the following fields (using default values for other settings), then click Create Project:

   • Project Name: Enter a name for the project.

   • Starting Point: Select either Blank Project or Generate Model from Database Schema.

     If you select Generate Model from Database Schema, you will replace the bootstrap model with AtScale-generated LookML.

   • Connection: Select your connection from the menu.

4. Create a Model directory that matches the name you set in the AtScale configuration. Create a subdirectory with the name of your AtScale catalog.

5. Create a Views directory that matches the name you set in the AtScale configuration. Create a subdirectory with the name of your AtScale catalog.

Next steps

Now, users can deploy AtScale models to Looker. For details, see Deploying a Catalog.
