Usage Notes

This view may have poor performance. It is not recommended to rely directly on it for real-time access. In the two starter kits, the view contents are read into separate data models and cached periodically (either in the SQL Server Analysis Services tabular data model, for PowerBI, or in the "EWS Data Mart" database for QuickSight).
