Delete a data configuration

You can delete a data configuration permanently or leave it in the database for importing again later. In either case, you must specify what to do with objects that reference the data configuration.

1. In the left navigation pane, click the Settings icon ().
2. In the Configure System section, click Manage Configurations.
3. Click the Row Action menu () for the configuration, and then click Edit.
4. Click Delete this Configuration.
5. If you are a superuser, you have two options:
   • To remove the data configuration from the application, but leave it in the database so that it can later be re-imported, click Remove Reference Only.
   • To delete the data configuration completely, including deleting it from the database, click Delete Permanently.

   Note:

   If you are not a superuser, you cannot delete the data configuration if any objects are associated with it.
6. If any objects reference this configuration, you can transfer queries, report definitions, and saved lists to a compatible data configuration. From the What would you like to do with objects that reference this configuration? drop-down list, select a configuration.
   • Any queries, report definitions, and saved lists that are not compatible with the data configuration that you select are deleted.
   • To delete all queries, report definitions, and saved lists instead of transferring them, at the bottom of the list, select Delete All Referenced Objects.
   • All case series, data mining runs, and report outputs based on this configuration are permanently deleted.
7. Before continuing, you might wish to:
   • Add the query portion of query-based case series to the Query Library (from the Case Series page).
   • Make sure that the configuration is not referenced by any drug profile configurations or signal configurations, because such references are removed.
   • Attach run results, case lists or case details, and report outputs to a topic.
8. Click Delete.

   Note:

   When you delete a data configuration that is associated with an alias , the target status of the alias becomes Broken.
