Introduction #
For datasets no longer in use, SmartChart recommends hiding rather than deleting to retain reusability. Only perform deletion when cleanup is truly necessary.
Operation Comparison #
| Operation | Location | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Hide | Dataset editor | Recommended first choice, retains reuse |
| Delete | Report editor | Click delete button then save |
Methods #
SmartChart recommends not deleting datasets since you can keep them and reuse them when adding new datasets later. Hiding is the preferred method, accessible in the dataset editor.
The delete button in the development interface also performs a hide operation.
If you truly need to delete, go to the “Report” interface, select unnecessary containers, delete them, and save.
