Import management is crucial to team productivity. By looking at the name of an import in the Coefficient sidebar a team member should know where the data is coming from and what type of data is being pulled. Coefficient imports default to naming import(s) based on object(s)/table(s) used in the query. While somewhat helpful, we recommend renaming your imports and providing a description to help your team have more context on the data import and its specific purpose.
ℹ️ NOTE: When you click on the tab (at the bottom of your sheet) and rename it, the new name will show up in the tab AND in the Coefficient sidebar. This makes managing your tabs/imports so much easier!
