Disappearing Objects

Hello,

Is it possible to change a universe (move classes to other or new classes) without having to recreate the reports? Each time I change the universe, some objects get other object ID’s (name stay the same) and it seems that the reports link to the object ID, instead of the names. After are fresh, I get the error message that some of the ‘obsolete’ objects are removed from the query.

How can I change the universe without recreating reports?

A general rule we go by is to NEVER delete objects. You can rename them or move them but you are correct when you say that the reports are linked to the object ID.

Objects are accessed by ID and not by name. You can move an object to another class but if you recreate the object in a new class it will have a new id.
