Deleting Entries

Learn how to delete info areas or fields.

Before deleting an info area or field or a variable catalog, select Reference search to check which objects (formats, queries, distribution logic, opportunity plan) refer to the info area, field or catalog you plan to delete, see Reference Search. Edit these objects to remove the references.

Double-click in the first column and confirm the message to delete a field, info area or catalog value.

Fixed catalogs can only be deleted by double clicking when using the integrated view. Otherwise the first click opens the Fixed Catalog table. Resize the Fixed Catalog by dragging the left hand border. You can now delete the catalog by double-clicking. If you save your windows settings, the next time you double-click, you do not need to resize the window.

The info area, field and or catalog with the highest number (or ID) should never be deleted from the data model. If you no longer wish to use such a value, delete it from the mask or list or set it to inactive. If you remove such an entry from the data model and subsequently add a new one, the new entry is assigned the same number as the deleted entry. This can lead to problems when communicating the data model or in CRM.designer.
