Deleting Entity Records in Data Studio

This article will help you understand how to delete entity records in Data Studio.

Delete individual records

An individual record can be deleted in Data Studio. To delete an individual record, hover over the record and select the Delete icon to bring up the delete record prompt.

To delete a record, type DELETE in the confirmation field and click Delete Record.

To also delete the record from all connected systems, check Also delete these records in all the connected Systems before clicking Delete Record. There are a few things to keep in mind when using this option:

• The record will be flagged as deleted in Syncari using the system attribute "Is Syncari Deleted". This means you will see the record in Data Studio after delete.
• The deletion of the record in the connected system will depend on the record being ID Mapped with the connected end system.
• The connected system must also support/allow a deletion of the record. 

Delete a filtered set of records

If needed, you can delete a group of entity records from Data studio.
1. Start by setting a filter to find the entity records that need to be deleted.
2. Next, click on the kebab menu icon to the left of the View Pipeline button. Select Delete Filtered records. 

3. To delete the records, type DELETE in the confirmation field and click Delete Record.

To also delete the record from all connected systems, check Also delete these records in all the connected Systems before clicking Delete Record. There are a few things to keep in mind when using this option:

• Selecting this option bypasses the Accept Deletes rule that is configured on the destination nodes of your pipeline.
• The record will be flagged as deleted in Syncari using the system attribute "Is Syncari Deleted". This means you will see the record in Data Studio after delete.
• The deletion of the record in the connected system will depend on the record being ID Mapped with the connected end system.
• The connected system must also support/allow a deletion of the record. 

Deleting records using this method will keep a record of the deletions. Select the "View past deletions" option.

Now, you can see the information on the deletions that occurred using this method.

Delete All Syncari Records for a single Entity

The Delete all records option will delete all records for a given entity in Syncari Only. We recommend pausing your pipeline when deleting data to avoid any issues. 

Follow these steps to delete all Syncari records for a specific entity:

1. Click on the kebab menu icon to the left of the View Pipeline button and then select Delete all records.

2. To confirm, type in the word DELETE and click Delete records.
