MicroStrategy ONE

Renaming Metadata Objects

Objects that can be renamed are stored in the MicroStrategy metadata. These objects include metric names, report names, the Public Objects system folder, security role names, user group names, and so on. Software strings stored in the metadata include embedded text strings (embedded in an object's definition), such as prompt instructions, aliased names (which can be used in attributes, metrics, and custom groups), consolidation element names, custom group element names, graph titles, and threshold text.

Metadata objects do not include configuration objects (such as the user object), function names, data mart table names, and so on.

Begin object renaming using the following high-level steps:

  1. Add tenant languages to the system, for each of your tenants. For steps, see Adding a New Tenant Language to the System.
  2. Enable tenant languages for your project's metadata objects. For steps, see Enabling and Disabling Tenant Languages.
  3. Provide tenant-specific names for objects using the steps in Renaming Objects in Your Project.
