Note:
The deletion of structure identifiers is only possible if they are no longer used as page identifiers or on devices. (Such identifiers show the value "No" in the Usage column of the Identifiers - <Project name> dialog once you have selected [Extras] > Check usage).
Precondition:
You have opened a project in which identifier blocks are used in the project structure, for instance "Higher-level function" and "Mounting location".
- Project data > Structure identifier management
- In the Identifiers - <Project name> dialog, select [Extras] > Check usage.
The table of the List tab is updated, meaning that the "?" characters in the Usage column are replaced with the current values. - Select the identifiers to be deleted in the table ("No" entry in the Usage column).
- Click (Delete).
The lines are deleted and all lines under them move up one position. - Click [Apply].
- Answer the confirmation prompt to update the project.
Notes:
- Alternatively to this procedure, you can also remove structure identifiers no longer in use from the database globally with [Extras] > Clean up all.
- If you attempt to delete a structure identifier that is still in use in the schematic, a message appears to that effect and the action is canceled.
- If a page or a device is deleted whose structure identifiers are not used in any other place in the project, then this identifier is still not removed from the database. Deletion of structure identifiers is only possible in structure identifier management.
