Hiding fields from analysis

You can hide data fields that you do not want available when building visualizations in sheet view or in insight advisor. You might, for example, have fields that are only used for calculating another field. You can hide these fields in Data manager so that they are not available in the assets panel of sheets or from insight advisor but remain available in Data manager and Data load editor.

When hiding a field, all existing relationships the field has, such as associations or use in calculations, will be maintained. If a field is currently in use, such as in a master item or in an existing chart, it will continue to be available there, but will not be available for use in new master items or visualizations.
