Deleting and Removing Benchmark Attributes and Options

Deleting a benchmark attribute or attribute value affects the associated projects and snapshots.

The data in the Benchmark Attributes grid on the Programs Overview tab is refreshed every time you display or refresh the view so when you delete a benchmark attribute or attribute value, the change is seen the next time you view the Programs Overview tab.

Deleting Benchmark Attributes

When you delete a benchmark attribute, all values for that attribute are deleted from snapshot records and the associated benchmarks are deleted from all programs.

Removing a Benchmark Attribute from a Program

If you no longer want a benchmark attribute to be associated with the selected program, you can remove it but still keep it in Touchstone. When you remove it, the snapshot benchmarks for the associated projects are removed as well.

Deleting Benchmark Options

When you delete a benchmark attribute option, the benchmark attribute for all snapshots where the option was selected is cleared. You will need to select new benchmark attribute option values for those affected snapshots. You do this on the project's Snapshot tab.
