At a minimum, you need to define a time spine table for a daily grain. You can optionally define a time spine table for a different granularity, like hourly. -If you already have a date dimension or time spine table in your dbt project you can simply point MetricFlow at this table. To do this, update the `model` configuration to use this table in the semantic layer.

This is no longer required. However, you can build your time spine model from this table if you don't have another date dimension table you want to use in your project. -:: +::: -![Time spine directory structure](/img/docs/building-metrics/time_spines.png) + ```yaml
