Deleting Members

Each data value is identified by a set of dimension member values and a cube. Deleting dimension members or deselecting the cube results in data loss when refreshing an application.

Before deleting members, understand where in the application they are used (in which forms, exchange rates, and so on) by using Show Usage. See Determining Where Members Are Used in an Application.

You must delete the entity member throughout the application before deleting it from Dimensions. For example, if the entity member is used in a form, you must delete it from the form before deleting it from Dimensions.

To delete members:

  1. From the Home page, click Navigator Navigator icon, and then under Create and Manage, click Dimensions.
  2. Select the dimension whose member you want to delete.
  3. From the dimension hierarchy, select the entity member to delete.
  4. Click Delete icon.

    Deleting a base member also deletes its shared members.

  5. Click Yes.
  6. Update and validate business rules and reports.
