Modifying Derived Entity

You can modify a Derived Entity definition as required. A Derived Entity definition in the unauthorized state (modified by other users) cannot be modified. You can modify Derived Entity if you have Derived Entity Write role mapped to your user group.

To modify a Derived Entity, follow these steps:

1. From the Derived Entity Summary window, select the derived entity you want to modify and click Edit.
   The Derived Entity Details window is displayed.
2. Modify the required details such as Short Description, Long Description and the metadata to be associated with the Derived Entity.
   For more information, see Create Derived Entity.
3. Click Save and update the details.
   When you modify a Derived Entity which is mapped to other metadata definition, the Affected Metadata Dialog is displayed with the list of mapped Datasets, Measures, and Hierarchies which gets auto updated. Click OK to confirm, else click Cancel.
