Object Workshop

Object workshop is the zone in Ursa studio where you can create a variety of different object types, manage ETL activity for those objects, and modify existing objects. Objects are tables or views that are wrapped in metadata used for tracking and management purposes. Objects represent a particular concept that might be reusable in some meaningful way for other applications that could be developed in the platform. In Ursa Studio, objects are the atomic unit of information, representing a single concept like institutional claims, service providers, patients, time periods when a patient has a particular condition, labs, surgical encounters, etc. Measures, the analytic focal point of the platform, are built from these objects.

Different types of objects are used for different functions, but all share a set of common contructs.

Object types include:

• Import
• Registered Table
• Semantic Mapping
• Single Stack
• Integrator
• Simple Timeline
• Complex Timeline
• Attribution Timeline
• Simple Episode
• Medication Therapy Episode
• Bespoke Model
• Bespoke SQL
• Ursa Standard
• Ursa Reference

The Object Workshop dashboard also serves as the hub for Ursa Studio's ELT process.

This dashboard also features a "Running Processes" tab and the "Environment Health" tab.

The "Running Processes" tab in the Object Workshop dashboard provides visibility into long-running processes on the server. For supported client database types, a list of long-running database queries is also shown. Users with sufficient privileges can kill any long-running queries.

The "Environment Health" tab in the Object Workshop dashboard will show the status of Ursa Studio's connections to the application database and customer database. For PostgreSQL, Redshift, and Snowflake implementations there is also a button to reset the connection pool to the database, which will help repair some database-locking scenarios.
