(v24) Delete Custom Metrics

Delete Custom Metrics

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

You can delete custom metrics from a data source in the Custom Metrics tab on the Fields tab, or by deleting the source entirely.

Important: If you delete a source, your custom metric can't be used by associated visuals, materialized views, actions, or chart defaults.

Note: If you try to delete a visual, filter snippet, dashboard, dashboard link, source, or source field, Symphony displays an error message naming any objects dependent on the item you’re trying to delete. You can delete the item after you’ve removed the association from the dependent object. See Fields Usage.
