Edit or Delete a Data Definition

Overview

An active Data Definition can be deleted from Resolver if you remove the Data Definition from the Data Visualization or Assessment. You will receive a system-generated message indicating that the Data Definition is currently in use if you try to remove a Data Definition before removing it from the Data Visualization or Assessment. 

Users can now add additional elements to a Data Definition if Reports or Orchestration Event Actions do not currently use it. Otherwise, Data Definitions can be edited by extending the path. System-generated messages will now indicate when additional elements can be added and when a Data Definition is used.

Note:
Previously selected data points cannot be removed.
