Deleting Existing Records: A Comprehensive Guide

Deleting Existing Records: A Comprehensive Guide

In the lifecycle of any app, there often arises a need to remove certain records. Whether it’s for the purpose of decluttering outdated information or simply keeping your database streamlined, deleting records is a crucial task.
In Codeless ONE, we’ve streamlined this process to ensure it’s efficient and user-friendly.
Here’s how you can go about it:

Method 1: Single Record Deletion

Step 1: Choose the Record to Delete

Locating the Record: First, identify the record you wish to delete.
(Demonstrating how to delete using the Split view, we’ll remove a record.)
Initiating Deletion: Next to the record, you’ll find a button.
Click on it to reveal two options: ‘Refresh‘ and ‘Delete.’

Step 2: Confirm Deletion

Proceed with Caution: Upon selecting ‘Delete‘, a confirmation message will appear. This is a safeguard to ensure you don’t accidentally remove important data.

Step 3: Complete the Deletion Process

Final Step: Confirm the deletion by clicking the ‘Delete‘ button in the pop-up message. This action permanently removes the record from your app, making it neither visible nor retrievable.

Method 2: Bulk Deletion

Efficiently Managing Large Volumes of Data

Selecting Records for Deletion

Bulk deletion is particularly useful when dealing with multiple records.
In the table view of your app, simply click on the checkbox at the left-hand end of each record row.
Note: To select all records, click the checkbox at the top of the column.

Initiating Bulk Deletion

After selection, a delete button will appear. Clicking this button triggers a warning message, ensuring you are fully aware of the action you’re about to take.

Confirming the Bulk Deletion

Finalize your decision by clicking ‘Delete‘ on the warning prompt.
This will remove all selected records in a single action.
A Word of Caution
Irreversible Action: Keep in mind that deletion, whether single or bulk, is irreversible. Once you delete records, they are permanently removed. It’s always wise to double-check before confirming any deletion.
By offering both single and bulk deletion options, Codeless ONE provides you with flexibility and control in managing your app’s data. Whether it’s a single piece of outdated information or a large batch of records, our platform ensures that your data management is both efficient and secure.
