A join graph across AI/BI dashboard datasets, resolved at query time, with cross-dataset measures over several fact tables.
Why it is worth watching
The dynamic-grain counterpart to a metric view. Support for relationships in Unity Catalog is still in progress.

| Who can use it | Everyone |

| Production use | Yes |
| Support | The support team |
| On by default | Yes, with an opt-out |
