(v24) Delete and Remove Visuals

Delete and Remove Visuals

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

You can remove visuals from dashboards and delete them from the Symphony instance in the Visual Gallery. You cannot delete a visual if it is used by any dashboard.

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.
