What changes will break a look?

Knowledge Drop

Last tested: Jul 1, 2018
 

The long url of a look is of the form:

http://instance.looker.com/explore/MODEL_NAME/EXPLORE_NAME?fields=...filter_config=...

This means a look will break or change in the following situations:

-model is changed or deleted such that MODEL NAME is no longer valid
-explore is changed, moved or deleted such that EXPLORE NAME is no longer valid
-field is changed or deleted such that a field name is no longer valid.

This means you can move a model to a new project, for example, and the look will not break as long as the explore and model have the same name.
