Editing a defined hierarchy

When you have defined a hierarchy using Create hierarchy on the visualization axis, or, using the Add hierarchy dialog, you can edit the hierarchy from the data canvas.

About this task

Before you begin

A defined hierarchy has been created as described in Defining a hierarchy from a visualization axis or Defining a hierarchy using the Add hierarchy dialog.
Tip: Temporary hierarchies on axes can be rearranged by dragging columns on the axis, or by removing or adding columns. Time-series hierarchies can be removed from the axis and re-added with another structure, or, the underlying binned custom expression can be edited by right-clicking on the axis and selecting Custom expression.
