Exposing models into Whaly
By default, when synchronising your dbt Cloud project with Whaly, you won't see any models appearing in the workbench.
This is because most of your models and sources managed in dbt should not be exposed in your Business Intelligence as those are really the fundamental building blocks of your modelling data structure. You want to expose in your consumption layer only the most prepared and enriched models.
In order to expose a model or a source into Whaly, you'll need to flag them in your dbt project directly by adding a specific meta.
