Additional Info
- If a Dimension is renamed to a Dimension name that already exists, the Dimension will not be recognized by Databox. To aggregate multiple Dimension values, it is recommended that you use Data Calculations to add together the unique Dimensions and produce a new Calculated Metric.
- For Agencies: Excluded and renamed Dimensions will be retained when Custom Metric is used on a Databoard and copied to a Client Account.
