(v23) Delete Derived Fields

Delete Derived Fields

This applies to: Visual Data Discovery

You can delete derived fields from a data source on the Fields tab, or by deleting the source entirely.

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

Note: If you try to delete a visual, 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.
