You can now delete custom assets, such as business entities, hierarchies, mappings, and relationships. You must have the MDM Designer or Designer user role to delete custom assets. However, you can't delete predefined MDM SaaS assets. You can't restore the custom assets after you delete them.
Before you delete custom assets, you must remove the dependencies associated with the assets. An asset can have dependencies, such as associated data, saved searches and templates, user role permissions, custom pages, job definitions, job instances or schedules, relationships, hierarchies, and business events.
You can view and remove the dependencies associated with an asset from the Explore page. For more information about viewing dependencies, see Viewing asset dependencies.
Before you delete an asset that has associated data, you must purge the data. For more information about purging data, see Purging Data.
You can't delete assets that have cyclic dependency. For example, consider business entities named Account and Company and relate them through business entity record fields. When you try to delete the Account or Company business entity, a dependency is shown, but you can't remove the dependency.
Note: After you delete a custom asset, you can't reuse the internal ID of the deleted custom asset.
Delete custom reference data assets
You can delete custom reference data assets that you don't need. However, before you delete the reference data assets, you must remove the dependencies associated with the reference data assets.
When you delete the reference data assets in Business 360 Console, the status of the reference data assets changes to unpublished and the reference data assets are removed from the Explore page. You can identify an unpublished reference data asset by a red dot. When you use an unpublished reference data asset in a picklist, the reference data asset is automatically published and then it shows up on the Explore page. To permanently delete the reference data assets, delete them from Reference 360.
You can delete custom assets that you no longer need. Before you delete the assets, you must remove the dependencies associated with the assets.
1On the Explore page, navigate to the assets that you want to delete.
2Select the assets.
3Click the Actions icon, and then select Delete.
4Confirm the action.
If the assets don't have any dependencies, they are deleted.
If the assets have dependencies, you can see a list of dependent objects for each asset. For example, when you delete a business entity that is specified in a job definition, then MDM SaaS displays job definition as a dependency. After you delete the job definition, you can delete the business entity.
The following image shows a dependent object for an asset that you try to delete:
