Bulk Delete Relationships
Use bulk upload templates to delete relationships between the objects. The templates are same as the ones you use to create relationships between object.
When you delete relationships, Axon removes the existing relationships between the objects. You can delete relationships between objects in bulk instead of deleting the relationship for each object from the Axon interface.
To update relationships in bulk, you have to first delete the existing relationships and then create the relationships that you want.
If the Admin or SuperAdmin user has configured mandatory workflow when you delete a relationship from the Axon interface, Axon will start the same workflow when you delete the relationship using the bulk upload template. Axon starts mandatory workflows when you delete relationships for the following facets:
- •Glossary
- •System
- •Data Set
- •Process
For more information on workflows, see
Use Workflows and Create Change Requests.
