Custom Subject Areas: Frequently Asked Questions

This topic provides answers to some frequently asked questions regarding custom subject areas.

Can I change a custom subject area's primary object?

No. Once you save a custom subject area, you cannot change its primary object; however, you can create a new custom subject area with a different primary object.

What happens if I change a custom subject area after it is published?

You can edit a published custom subject area and then republish it after your changes are done. Modifying a custom subject area does not affect the reports that you created using that custom subject area before making the changes. You can use the modified custom subject area should you need to enhance existing reports.

Note: You cannot edit a primary object when you modify a custom subject area. Should you need to do so, create a new custom subject area using a different (new) primary object.
