Opting out for some fields to appear in Saiku

Hi,

For calculated fields, it is possible in Collect to opt out from them being shown in Saiku (see "not included in data export"). Is it right that this option does not delete the data per se, it only does not show it in Saiku? If I were to export the data in R for example, the data would still be there?

Because the Saiku interface is quite easily overwhelming, would it be possible to opt out of any of them to appear in Saiku?

Many thanks!

Hi Florence,
That option affect only the appearance of an attribute in Saiku and in the CSV data export.

Hi "Open Foris Team",

Does it mean if I export to R, I will have "lost" the information that was "not included in data export". Is there a way to access it? It must be somewhere as it is calculated?

Also, it seems this option is only for calculated fields? I think it would be great this option to be available for all fields as often the calculated field might be what we want the statistics on, not the data entered to calculate it.

Cheers,

Florence
