Introduction
The Reset Project function in the Studio is used to quickly reset a project.This is typically used when working on project enrichments and facets. The main uses area as follows:
Remove all dashboards
Removes all existing dashboards. Then, creates a new, empty Default Dashboard.
Delete all items in the index
This is useful when trying out new loading strategies and enrichments. This way you can be sure that all the data you see has been processed already, and isn't a remnant from a previous index run.
Delete all the facet definitions
As facets can't be removed and their data type can't be changed, you may need to reset the project facets to have a cleaner facet list. This should be done carefully, because the data is also removed for this.
See Managing Facets, specifically the section Deleting Facets for more information.
Usage
In the Load tab open Reset Project. Select one or more of the provided options.
To recover facets and data, the next step is usually either to import a project or run the data loader again.
Behind the Scenes
Deleting the data is achieved by deleting the underlying Elasticsearch index. The data sources remain intact.
To remove facets, the index also has to be removed. Additionally all the facet definitions are purged from the project metadata.
