Snapshot_DIM Table

Stores information to uniquely identify each individual snapshot. Whilst the scheduled snapshot generation will only happen on a daily or weekly basis, there is no restriction that multiple snapshots on the same day could not be generated.

Note: To cater for multi-tenant mode, this table may contain data for multiple tenants. Access requires that the database TenantID has been set in the SQL Server connection context information. That setting filters an underlying table to produce this view of data for the single, selected tenant.
