CRM Analytics dashboards use two query formats for aggregateflex steps: compact form and SAQL form. Compact form provides a structured JSON approach for common aggregations, while SAQL form allows custom query logic for advanced scenarios. Understanding their differences helps you choose the right format for dashboard requirements.

Core information
  • Compact form queries use structured JSON properties like sources, groups, measures, and filters to define aggregations without writing SAQL code directly.
More details and nuances
  • When using SAQL form, filters, limits, and ordering must be defined inside the pigql attribute; CRM Analytics ignores these if set separately under the query attribute.
