Edit an existing entity

  1. Go to Settings → Entities.

    • Country

    • Owner

  5. Click SAVE.

Notes:

  • The Default entity cannot be deleted, but its name and attributes can be updated.

  • Avoid changing the Entity Code after reporting has started, as it may impact integrations or downstream reporting references.


Delete an entity

  1. Go to Settings → Entities.

  2. Locate the entity in the list.

  3. Click the Delete (trash) icon.

  4. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

Before deleting

Ensure that:

  • No spend records reference the entity.

  • No budgets or forecasts are assigned to the entity.

  • No users are assigned to the entity.

  • No upload rules depend on the entity.

If dependent records exist, reassign them to another entity before deleting.
