Hide Fields
By default, all fields in a data source are visible and available for use in custom metrics, derived fields, , and in your dashboard visuals. However, there may be source fields, derived fields, or custom metrics in the data that you prefer to hide.
Hidden fields can be used in custom metrics, dashboard visuals, and derived fields.
When to Hide Fields
You can hide a field already used in a derived field, custom metric, or visual. The next time a user opens a visual that uses that hidden field, they are prompted to re-render the visual by selecting another available field.
Note: In this release, the user interface and workflows have changed from previous releases. If you are running an earlier release, see How to Hide a Field (Earlier Releases).
