Delete actions, triggers, conditions and scenarios in Link’nX

In the Triggers, Conditions, Actions and Scenarios lists of Link’nX, you can delete one item at a time or a selection of several items. Before you confirm, Link’nX shows the scenarios linked to the items concerned.

Intended for administrators and installers. To remove only a folder while keeping its scenarios, follow Delete a scenario folder; to change the filing, use Move scenarios.

Before you start

• Check the project, the gateway and the names concerned.
• For a shared action, trigger or condition, first see the linked scenarios.
• Deletion removes configurations and the list offers no general restore button: make sure you can rebuild an item removed by mistake.

Delete a single item

1. Find the item in its list and exit Select if it is active.
2. For an action, a condition or a trigger, click the Delete trash can on its row. For a scenario, open its three vertical dots, then Delete.
3. If linked scenarios are shown, the Scenario affected by this change: or Scenarios affected by this change: window lists them. Review them. CANCEL keeps the item; DELETE confirms its deletion. If you must preserve these uses without knowing the necessary changes, cancel and have the configuration checked.
4. With no linked scenario shown, a browser confirmation asks Supprimer l’élément : nom ? (Delete item: name?). Check the name before confirming, or cancel.
5. Wait for Deleted!.

Delete several items

1. In the section concerned, click Select, then check the rows to remove. Clear the filters and check the whole selection, including items that may have been hidden.
2. Click Delete (N) in the bottom bar. The Delete N items? window shows the selected items.
3. Review both groups. Safe to delete, with No conflicts, groups the items with no linked scenario shown: still check that you really want to delete them. Used in scenarios shows, for each item, the names of the scenarios concerned.
4. All the rows offered are initially checked, including those used in scenarios: uncheck each item to keep.
5. Check N of M selected, then click Delete (N). Cancel closes the request before deletion.
6. During Deleting…, wait for processing to finish: the window offers no way to cancel the operation in progress.
7. At Deletion complete, review the results, then click Close.

Check the result

• After a single deletion, check the list after Deleted!.
• After a multiple deletion, read separately N item(s) deleted successfully and N item(s) failed to delete; the latter is followed by the name and the error of each item concerned. Progress reaching its end means that all the items have been processed, not that all of them have been deleted. After Close, check the items still present: successful deletions remain applied even if others failed.
• Review the scenarios that used the deleted items and correct their configuration if necessary: they may be incomplete.

Troubleshooting

• Some items failed: to resume, select only the items still present that you really want to remove, after checking their uses.
• An item was removed by mistake and you do not know how to rebuild it, or the result of a deletion remains uncertain: contact support@can-nx.com with the section, the names concerned, the message and the steps already taken. Do not send any private access link or secret.
