Abstract
Systems and methods for creating an aggregation metric object for use in accelerating data update operations. One or more source objects are identified, a target object is identified, and fields between the one or more source objects and the target object are mapped. Fields in the target object are automatically updated pursuant to a user defined schedule; and updates to a dashboard object using the target object are provided upon request from the user to update the dashboard object.
