Deleting an object removes the object and all references to that object from the Metrics Management database. Before deleting an object, consider the effects of deleting the following objects:
Commentary type
Deleting a commentary type deletes all commentary entries for the commentary type, and all references to the commentary type in views and dashboards.
Data or formula measure, location, or comparative
Deleting a data or formula measure, or a location or comparative deletes all data and commentary entries associated with the object.
Location
Deleting a location invalidates default and preferred locations. Objects that use default and preferred locations do not display the results you expect until the locations are created again.
Filter
Deleting a filter deletes all references to that filter in sections and views.
Link
Deleting a link deletes all references to the link. If a database uses a link as an info link, the link is deleted across the database.
