Delete Action

The Delete Action allows you to erase the database record that matches the specified record ID. This action can be customized and configured to delete associated data, files, and even abort related running processes.

Configure delete

Select Delete from the Action menu in the lateral menu to add the element Delete. 

When adding Delete, you will see the following properties from the element available for configuration:

• Label: Link or button label.
  When the action is added to the bulk action placeholder, it will turn into a button.
• Form: The form to look up for record deletion.
• Confirmation Message: The confirmation message before performing the action.
• Delete Associated Grid Data?: Deletes inner grid data if the record has grid element(s).

  These 3 options (Delete Associated Grid Data, Delete Associated Child Form Data, Delete Files), in combination, do apply to nested grid/child elements.
  
  

  These options traverse the entire form tree. It will move on to the next grid/child element upon encountering a false condition.

  For example, consider that the popup form has a form grid, the form grid has a subform, and the subform has a file upload element with abc.pdf. If all options are checked, abc.pdf will be deleted. If all except ONE of the options is checked, abc.pdf will NOT be deleted.
