Edit or Delete an Assessment Type

You can edit or delete an assessment type and most of its settings provided that the assessment has not been launched. Once an assessment is launched, the assessment and the following data associated with it will be locked, including:

  • Object types
  • Dimensions
  • Formulas, relationships, or roles; or
  • Object type groups.

This article provides instructions for editing or deleting an assessment that has not been launched. To edit or delete any of the above data after an assessment has been launched, the assessment, the assessment objects, and instances must first be deleted. See the Delete a Launched Assessment Type for more information. For information on deleting individual assessment objects and their instances, see the Delete a Launched Assessment Object article.
