Is it ok to join marts tables ?

Let’s suppose I have on my marts layer the following tables:

dim_customers

dim_accounts

fct_transactions

I want to create a report that joins all these tables. Therefore my query will contain the 3 tables.

BUT I do not want to put the query in my visualisation tool. Instead I would like to create a table/view that joins these tables from the marts folder and my visualisation tool would simply do a select * from “joined_table”.

Should I create that “joined_table” in the marts layer by joining the dim and fct tables ?

How would you approach this scenario and what is your current approach ?

Thanks in advance
