Deleting Unreferenced Tasks

When you delete an activity from the Process editor, the system identifies all referenced task entities. If no other activities reference the task, you can define your OSM system preferences to delete these orphaned tasks.

To define OSM general preferences to delete unreferenced tasks:

1. From the Window menu, select Preferences.

   The Preferences dialog box is displayed.

2. In the Preferences navigation tree, expand Oracle Design Studio, and then select Order and Service Management Preferences.

3. In the Delete Orphaned Task References with Activity field, do one of the following:

   • If you want the system to automatically delete orphaned tasks, select Always.

   • If you want the orphaned tasks to remain in the workspace, select Never.

   • If you want the system to display a prompt for the user, select Prompt.

   Note:

   If activities other than the deleted activity reference a task, the system does not delete the task or display a prompt, because the task is still required elsewhere.

4. Click OK.

   Design Studio saves your preferences.
