Each of these tables is enriched with metrics that reflect the volume and breadth of current work and also the velocity of completed work.\n- Provides a daily metrics table, which lays out a timeline of task creations and completions to show the overall pace of deliverables.\n- Generates a comprehensive data dictionary of your source and modeled Asana data through the [dbt docs site](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_asana/).\n- These tables are designed to work simultaneously with our [Asana source package](https://github.com/fivetran/dbt_asana_source).\n\n\n\u003c!--section=“asana_transformation_model\"--\u003e\nThe following table provides a detailed list of all tables materialized within this package by default.\n\u003e TIP: See more details about these tables in the package's [dbt docs site](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_asana/#!/overview?g_v=1\u0026g_e=seeds).\n\n| **Table**                | **Description**                                                                                                                                |\n| ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| [asana__task](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_asana/#!/model/model.asana.asana__task)             | Each record represents an Asana task, enriched with data about its assignee, projects, sections, tasks, teams, tags, parent task, comments, followers, and activity. |\n| [asana__user](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_asana/#!/model/model.asana.asana__user)             | Each record represents an Asana user, enriched with metrics about their completed tasks, open tasks, and the projects they work on. Also includes data about the user's most recently completed task and their next due task. |\n| [asana__project](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_asana/#!/model/model.asana.asana__project)          | Each record represents an Asana project, enriched with metrics about their completed tasks, open tasks, and the users involved in the project. Also includes data about the project's most recently completed task and next due tasks. |\n| [asana__team](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_asana/#!/model/model.asana.asana__team)             | Each record represents an Asana team, enriched with data about their completed tasks, open tasks, their projects, and the users involved with the team. |\n| [asana__tag](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_asana/#!/model/model.asana.asana__tag)              | Each record represents an Asana tag, enriched with metrics about open and completed tasks associated with the tag. |\n| [asana__daily_metrics](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_asana/#!/model/model.asana.asana__daily_metrics)    | Each record represents a single day, enriched with metrics about tasks opened at created that day. |\n\n### Materialized Models\nEach Quickstart transformation job run materializes 28 models if all components of this data model are enabled. This count includes all staging, intermediate, and final models materialized as `view`, `table`, or `incremental`.\n\u003c!--section-end--\u003e\n## How do I use the dbt package?\n### Step 1: Prerequisites\nTo use this dbt package, you must have the following:\n\n- At least one Fivetran Asana connection syncing data into your destination.\n- A **BigQuery**, **Snowflake**, **Redshift**, **PostgreSQL**, or **Databricks** destination.\n\n### Step 2: Install the package\nInclude the following asana package version in your `packages.yml` file.\n\u003e TIP: Check [dbt Hub](https://hub.getdbt.com/) for the latest installation instructions, or [read the dbt docs](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/package-management) for more information on installing packages.\n```yaml\npackages:\n  - package: fivetran/asana\n    version: [\"\u003e=0.9.0\", \"\u003c0.10.0\"] # we recommend using ranges to capture non-breaking changes automatically\n```\nDo NOT include the `asana_source` package in this file. The transformation package itself has a dependency on it and will install the source package as well.\n\n### Step 3: Define database and schema variables\nBy default, this package runs using your [destination](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/running-a-dbt-project/using-the-command-line-interface/configure-your-profile) and the `asana` schema. If this is not where your Asana data is (for example, if your Asana schema is named `asana_fivetran`), add the following configuration to your root `dbt_project.yml` file:\n\n```yml\nconfig-version: 2\n\nvars:\n  asana_source:\n    asana_database: your_database_name\n    asana_schema: your_schema_name \n```\n\n### Step 4: Enabling/Disabling Models\n\nYour Asana connection might not sync every table that this package expects. If your syncs exclude certain tables, it is either because you do not use that functionality in Asana or have actively excluded some tables from your syncs. In order to enable or disable the relevant tables in the package, you will need to add the following variable(s) to your `dbt_project.yml` file.\n\nBy default, all variables are assumed to be `true`.\n\n```yml\nvars:\n    asana__using_tags: false                # default is true\n    asana__using_task_tags: false           # default is true\n```\n\n### (Optional) Step 5: Additional configurations\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eExpand for configurations\u003c/summary\u003e\n\n#### Passing Through Additional Columns\nThis package allows users to include additional columns to the source task table.  To do this, include any additional columns to the `asana_source` pass-through variables to ensure the downstream columns are present.\n\n```yml\nvars:\n  asana_source:\n    task_pass_through_columns: [custom_status, custom_department]\n```\n\n#### Changing the Build Schema\nBy default this package will build the Asana staging models within a schema titled (\u003ctarget_schema\u003e + `_stg_asana`) and the Asana final models with a schema titled (\u003ctarget_schema\u003e + `_asana`) in your target database. If this is not where you would like your modeled Asana data to be written to, add the following configuration to your root `dbt_project.yml` file:\n\n```yml\nmodels:\n  asana:\n    +schema: my_new_schema_name # leave blank for just the target_schema\n  asana_source:\n    +schema: my_new_schema_name # leave blank for just the target_schema\n```\n\n#### Change the source table references\nIf an individual source table has a different name than the package expects, add the table name as it appears in your destination to the respective variable:\n\n\u003e IMPORTANT: See this project's [`dbt_project.yml`](https://github.com/fivetran/dbt_asana_source/blob/main/dbt_project.yml) variable declarations to see the expected names.\n\n```yml\nvars:\n    asana_\u003cdefault_source_table_name\u003e_identifier: your_table_name \n```\n\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n### (Optional) Step 6: Orchestrate your models with Fivetran Transformations for dbt Core™\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eExpand for more details\u003c/summary\u003e\n\nFivetran offers the ability for you to orchestrate your dbt project through [Fivetran Transformations for dbt Core™](https://fivetran.com/docs/transformations/dbt). Learn how to set up your project for orchestration through Fivetran in our [Transformations for dbt Core setup guides](https://fivetran.com/docs/transformations/dbt#setupguide).\n\n\u003c/details\u003e\n\n## Does this package have dependencies?\nThis dbt package is dependent on the following dbt packages. These dependencies are installed by default within this package. For more information on the following packages, refer to the [dbt hub](https://hub.getdbt.com/) site.\n\u003e IMPORTANT: If you have any of these dependent packages in your own `packages.yml` file, we highly recommend that you remove them from your root `packages.yml` to avoid package version conflicts.\n\n```yml\npackages:\n    - package: fivetran/asana_source\n      version: [\"\u003e=0.9.0\", \"\u003c0.10.0\"]\n\n    - package: fivetran/fivetran_utils\n      version: [\"\u003e=0.4.0\", \"\u003c0.5.0\"]\n\n    - package: dbt-labs/dbt_utils\n      version: [\"\u003e=1.0.0\", \"\u003c2.0.0\"]\n```\n## How is this package maintained and can I contribute?\n### Package Maintenance\nThe Fivetran team maintaining this package _only_ maintains the latest version of the package.
