Remove a User-Defined Field from a Hub

When you remove a user-defined field from a hub, it is permanently removed from the hub. All the data that is entered in a user-defined field for all the records in the hub is permanently removed from the Vantagepoint database, along with all audit trail data.

You cannot remove a standard Vantagepoint field from a hub. However, you can hide or lock standard fields.

Warning: You cannot undo this action. This action permanently deletes the field and its audit history from the database.

To remove a user-defined field from a hub:

  1. In the Navigation pane in the browser application, open Screen Designer in one of the following ways:
    • Go to the Hubs section and select the hub that you want to customize, or select Settings > General Ledger > Chart of Accounts to customize the Chart of Accounts. On the Actions bar of the form that displays, select Other Actions > Design.
    • Select Settings > General > Screen Designer. In the Application field at the top of the Screen Designer form, select the application that you want to customize.
  2. On the Screen Designer form, click the tab on which the user-defined field is located.
  3. Hover over the field that you want to remove, and click X in the upper right corner of the field.
  4. On the Delete dialog box, click Delete.
  5. On the Screen Designer form, click Save in the actions and properties pane.
