View Groups

You can now organize your semantic model into view groups. Group related views by domain or purpose — Sales, Marketing, Customers, Inventory — and give each group a title and description so data consumers, AI agents, and embedded apps can discover the right dataset faster.

View groups are defined directly in the data model with the new view_groups top-level block and are surfaced everywhere views are picked across Cube — including the semantic view picker in Workbooks, Explore, and the Cube REST API meta response. The schema editor in the new IDE understands the new syntax, with autocomplete and validation for view_groups and the views array.
