Removing a Node

You can remove nodes from viewpoints that use a hierarchy structure.

Note:

The remove option is not available for a viewpoint that uses a list.

When you remove a node, the parent/child relationship is removed from the hierarchy set for the viewpoint. If the node has other parents in the hierarchy set (such as a shared node), those relationships are not affected, and the node remains in the hierarchy set in those relationships. If the node does not have any other parents, the node no longer exists in that hierarchy set, but still exists in the node type and may exist in other hierarchy sets.

Example

Employee A is a node in multiple hierarchies as shown below. Employee A no longer works on Project R. We can remove Employee A from Project R. This does not affect Employee A's relationships with Manager Z, Location Y, or Project X.

Note:

To delete a node from all parents in all hierarchies or from a viewpoint that uses a list, see Deleting a Node. For example, if Employee A no longer works for the company, you can delete Employee A, and the node is deleted from all hierarchies.

To remove a node:

1. Open the view where you want to remove the node.
2. Open a draft request or create a new request.
3. Find the node that you want to remove, then click to the right of the node name, and the select Remove.
4. Click Done.
