These specify the columns in the SCD table that mark the start and end dates (or timestamps) for each tier or dimension. Additionally, the entity is tagged as `natural` to differentiate it from a `primary` entity. In a `primary` entity, each entity value has one row. In contrast, a `natural` entity has one row for each combination of entity value and its validity period. ```yaml semantic_models: @@ -280,9 +281,11 @@ semantic_models: - name: tier type: categorical + primary_entity: sales_person + entities: - name: sales_person - type: primary + type: natural expr: sales_person_id ```
