Type: Function
Function: FLATTEN
Syntax: FLATTEN(array_field)
Description: Flatten an array field (e.g. labels) to produce one parent record per value in the array. This operator is useful to turn arrays into single values. Aggregation logic can then be applied on those individual values (e.g. COUNT
per individual label
).
This operator can only be used in dimension formulas, it cannot be used in metric formulas.
Sample usage:
FLATTEN(label_names)
will produce one parent record per label in thelabel_names
array, with each record having a single label.FLATTEN(assignee_usernames)
will produce one parent record per user in theassignee_usernames
array, with each record having a single assignee.Using
FLATTEN(label_names)
as dimension andCOUNT()
as metric will produce a reporting counting the number of time each label has been used across all records.Using
FLATTEN(label_names)
as dimension 1,FLATTEN(assignee_usernames)
as dimension 2 andCOUNT()
as metric will produce a reporting counting the number of label+assignee pairs.
