Remove Attribute Tags from Levels, Accounts, and Dimensions

Remove Attribute Tags from Levels, Accounts, and Dimensions

  • Levels, accounts, or custom dimensions that you tagged with attribute values.
  • Security:
    Model includes sheets, accounts, dimensions, and formulas
    permission.
The fastest way to remove attribute tags is to delete the attribute value. When you delete the attribute value, it automatically gets removed from the accounts, custom dimensions, and levels. When you want to remove the attribute tag without deleting the attribute value, you can manually remove it in the respective settings. However, manually removing the attribute value 1 at a time can be cumbersome when you must remove the attribute from several accounts, custom dimensions, or levels.
To accomplish your task in-bulk, you can take advantage of the import and export functions.
