Including Explore for NDT in different model without duplication in explore navigation window

[Stephen_Theunis]

I want to build an NDT which is linked to an explore existing in a different model. The problem is when I include the explore in my other model to build the NDT, the explore gets duplicated in the navigation window (under explore header). Is there a way to include the explore, without duplicating it when browsing through the explores? Can extend the explore and then rename it but I hoped there would be an easier method to do so since I need to create multiple PDTs.

Hey Stephen! I think just hiding the Explore in your new model file should do the trick 🙂

Hi @Stephen_Theunis. Did you find a solution to this problem?

@bens1 Could you please elaborate on your suggestion? I can’t seem to hide the explore for one model and at the same time unhide in other model.

You can use LookML refinements (which are effectively scoped to the model) to add hidden: yes

for example:

include "for_an_ndt.explore.lkml"

explore: +for_an_ndt {
  hidden:yes
}
