Modifying an Attribute

You can modify the properties of an existing attribute within a model.

Caution: Modifying a model may break reports attached to it. See Managing Model Breaking Changes for more information.

To modify an attribute

  1. Next to a model in the Models list, click Edit.

  2. In the model editor that appears, in the Entities list on the left, select the entity whose attribute you want to modify. The properties appear in the workspace and the Attributes and Relations lists populate with any associated attributes and relations.
  3. In the Attributes list on the right, select the attribute whose properties you want to modify. The properties appear in the workspace.
  4. In the workspace, change properties as necessary. The table below details the properties that you can change.

    Attribute properties

  5. If the attribute that you are modifying has a list of variations under it such as date parts (e.g. Expense Day, Expense Month) or aggregations (e.g. Total Amount, Avg Amount), that you have modified with format changes or deletions, you can click the Regenerate command at the top right of the Attributes list to generate all of the available variations. Note that the attribute for which you want to regenerate variations must have focus for the Regenerate command to appear.
