Hide and Delete Fields in a Business View Data Source

Hide and Delete Fields in a Business View Data Source

Security:
Manage: Business Views
 security domain in the System functional area.
You can hide both delivered and added fields in a business view data source. When you hide a field, the field remains in the business view definition, but becomes unavailable for use in any report or discovery board. If you unhide a field, the field becomes available to use in reports and discovery boards.
You can delete fields that have previously been added to the business view data source. When you delete a field, the field is permanently removed from the data source and can’t be used in any report or discovery board. You can add a field again after you delete it.
  1. Access the
    Configure Delivered Business Views
    task.
  2. Select the business view data source for which you want to hide or delete fields, and click
    OK
    .
    We list all fields currently defined in the business view data source on the
    Fields
     grid, including any fields previously added. We display a count of reports that currently use the field on the
    Where Used
     column in the grid.

    Fields
     grid, perform 1 or both of these actions:
