MicroStrategy ONE
View Component and Dependent Objects
You can view objects that are components or dependents of a selected object. This is helpful when you need to delete objects and/or their components and dependents.
Starting in MicroStrategy ONE (March 2024), you can view components and dependents for hierarchies and tables. You can also view system managed objects, as well as an object's ID and location.

For example, if you view a report's dependent components, you see all of the attributes, metrics, filters, prompts, and other objects used in that report. Viewing the components of an attribute displays the tables, drill maps, hierarchies, and other components of the attribute.

When you view the dependents of attribute A, only Report R appears in the list. However, the Review Recursive Dependents button provides a list of all direct and indirect dependents, so both A and R appear.
