Unmapping attributes

You can unmap previously mapped attributes so that they are no longer available for reporting.

Before you begin

Depending on how your system administrator customized your system, you might not have access to this task. To obtain access to this task or to have someone complete it for you, contact your system administrator.

About this task

Only attributes that are not being used in any reports can be unmapped. The attributes that you unmap are made unavailable for reporting as soon as you save your changes. You do not have to run the data synchronization task for the changes to take effect.

To unmap the attributes for an entity, complete these steps:

Procedure

  1. Click Report > Schema Mapping.
    The Select Entity Attributes page is displayed.
  2. On the Select Entity Attributes page, select an entity from the list of objects.
    Both mapped and unmapped attributes for the selected entity are displayed. If they are being used by standard reports, some of the attributes can be mapped by default.
  3. Select one or more attributes from the Mapped attributes list, and then click Remove.
    • To select multiple attributes at the same time, press the Ctrl key and click each attribute that you want to unmap.
    • To select continuous, multiple attributes at the same time, press the Shift key and click each attribute that you want to unmap.
    The attribute is moved to the Unmapped attributes list.
  4. Click OK to save the report schema and close the Select Entity Attributes page.

Results

A message is displayed, indicating that you successfully updated the schema mapping for the entity that you selected.
