  • Publication number: 20240028250
    Abstract: Techniques and solutions are provided for updating or augmenting consolidated data that is produced using base data. The consolidated data can include data that is aggregated by various grouping criteria. After a set of consolidated data is determined, the base data may change, one or more rules used to calculate the consolidated data may change, or it may be desired to see data that is more granular than that included in the consolidated data. After consolidated data is provided to a user, a user issues a data augmentation request. The data augmentation request causes the base data, which may have been updated, to be processed to provide updated data, where the processing includes grouping operations used in producing the consolidated data. The updated data is provided to a client in response to the data augmentation request.
