To replace content for an existing Data Source, select it in the Data Browser and navigate to Data->Manage Data Source Content.

 

This will bring up the Manage Data Source Content window:

Component Description
        1 Define the action to perform (Replace, Append or Delete)
        2 Select the location of the new source data
        3 Description text for the new bulk (for future reference)

 

Click Replace to begin the process.

 

If the field structure for the new data is different from the old data structure (new fields were added, fields were removed or renamed), the Data Properties window will come up where you can set configurations prior to replacing of data.  See the appropriate section in Connecting To Data for detailed explanation based on the format of the data you are importing.

 

** If the new data has fields that do not exist in the old data, new Dimensions/Measures will be automatically created for them.

 

** If the new data is missing fields that were bound to existing Dimensions, you can map these Dimensions to new fields by clicking Edit.
