Rename a Chargeback Hierarchy or a Chargeback Entity
You can edit the names of chargeback hierarchies and the vCenter Chargeback entities in them.
To perform this task, you must have update privilege on the hierarchy and the chargeback hierarchical entity.
Procedure
1 In the Manage Hierarchy tab, select the required chargeback hierarchy from the drop-down menu on the
left pane of the page.
The collapsed view of the chargeback hierarchy is displayed.
2 Expand the hierarchy by clicking the plus sign (+) to the left of the hierarchy name.
The first-level entities in the hierarchy are displayed. You can view all the entities in the hierarchy by
clicking the plus sign to the left of the entities that have sub-entities.
3 Right-click the entity and select Edit label from the pop-up menu.
4 Provide a new name for the entity and click outside the entity-name text box.
The character limit for the hierarchy and entity names is 255 characters. The hierarchy and entity names
are not case-sensitive.
Delete an Entity from the Hierarchy
You can delete the vCenter Server entities and vCenter Chargeback entities from a chargeback hierarchy. If
you have added a vCenter Server entity to the chargeback hierarchy, you cannot remove any of its child entities
without deleting the directly added vCenter Server entity from the chargeback hierarchy.
Even if an entity is deleted from the hierarchy, the generated reports include these deleted entities for the time
period they were available in the hierarchy. vCenter Chargeback maintains the history of the entities created
in the chargeback hierarchies. Therefore, the cost information of the deleted entities can be retrieved for the
period they existed in the chargeback hierarchy.
To delete an entity, you must have delete privilege on the chargeback hierarchical entity and update privilege
on the hierarchy.
CAUTION You cannot undo a delete entity operation.
Procedure
1 In the Manage Hierarchy tab, select the required chargeback hierarchy from the drop-down menu on the

3 Right-click the entity that you want to remove and select Delete from the pop-up menu.
A dialog confirming the action is displayed.

The entity and its child entities, if any, are removed from the hierarchy.
