Deleting an object permanently removes its structure, its data, and all associated configuration. This action cannot be undone.
Before You Delete
An object cannot be deleted if it is still referenced elsewhere. Before deleting, you must remove all dependencies in the following order:
Delete all child objects that reference this object
Remove any screens and object editors that use it
Remove any process inputs, process outputs, and process deletions that reference it
Delete all of the object's attributes
Only once all dependencies have been removed can the object itself be deleted.
Method 1 - Delete Manually
Open the Configuration application and navigate to Objects \> Objects.
Click Edit.
In the left-most column, click the checkbox next to the object you want to delete.
Enter an Audit Comment.
Click Save and Refresh.
The deletion will only succeed if all dependency rules have been satisfied. If dependent records still exist, the platform will reject the deletion.
Method 2 - Delete Using a Process
If you need to delete multiple objects or manage structural clean-up as part of a controlled process, deletion can be handled through a configured process. For more information, see Deleting Object Records Using a Process.
After Deletion
Once deleted, the object and all its data are permanently removed. Confirm that the object is no longer needed and that no other configuration depends on it before proceeding.
