Delete Views, Variants/Layouts and Work Environments
When you delete views, variants (selection variants and function variants), layouts, or work environments, the system reacts as follows:
If you choose the Delete
function, the system checks the following:
Is the work environment used by other users?
Is the view used in other work environments?
Is the variant, or the layout used in another view?
If the result of the check is positive, the reference will be deleted and other work environments and other users will not be affected by the deletion.
By contrast, if the object is not used in other work environments or other views, the system issues the following prompt: Do you want to delete <the work environment/ the view/ the variant>?
You can cancel (not delete) the object, and re-use it at a later time. If you respond to the prompt by choosing Assignment
, the system deletes the assignment to the view/work environment. If not, the object is physically deleted.
Note
You can delete selection variants by using the standard maintenance function for selection variants. In this function, no check is executed for objects for the variant management. This means that the selection variant will be deleted, although this is used in other views..
Note
It is not possible to delete standard views/variants/work environments/layouts.
