Delete Entity

1. Selection Area in the User Interface

• A list or Select Box is created for the user to select the entity they want to delete.
• The ID information of the selected entity is stored.

2. Defining the Delete Action

• A button named ‘Delete’ is added.
• When this button is clicked, the following action is added:
  
  • + ADD ACTION > OnClick > EAV > Entity > Delete Entity

• Id: Configured as Symbol Picker > Form Component or Fixed.

3. Post-Action

• When the action is completed:
  
  • The list can be updated (Refresh Data)
  • A message can be displayed to the user (Show Toast)
  • The user can be redirected to another page (Navigate)

In an application's administrator panel, the system administrator wants to delete old or unnecessary entity records.

1. The administrator selects a record from the entity list.
2. They click the ‘Delete’ button.
3. The Delete Entity action is executed with the ID of the selected entity.
4. If the action is successful, the list is refreshed and the message ‘Entity successfully deleted’ is displayed to the user.

‍

• Invalid or Missing ID: If the ID field is empty or invalid, the action fails.
• Related Data: If there are attributes associated with the entity, these relationships may be affected. This should be taken into account before deleting.
• Authorisation Control: This action should generally only be accessible to authorised users.

The Delete Entity action is one of the basic operations used to make entity management sustainable and organised on the Kuika platform. When configured correctly, it ensures that unnecessary definitions are cleaned up and the form infrastructure is simplified.
