Rule: Delete Entity Record

Use the Delete Entity Record rule to delete a record from an entity which was imported from Data Service in your app.

Which entity record should be deleted?

Clicking the Which entity record should be updated? field opens the Resources panel, which displays the available imported Data Service entities.

Select the entity by double-clicking on it. Once selected, the following properties become available:

• Values to set

• When deleted

• On Error

Entity record Id

Provide the ID of the record you want to delete.

You can find the ID in Data Service > <Entity_name> > Data.

To use the record ID in this rule, declare it as a variable of type Guid, or write the following syntax in the Entity record Id field:

New Guid("record_id_string")

When deleted

In this section you can define rules to be executed right after the entity record has been deleted.

For example: You can display a success message after the record is deleted using the Show Message rule and selecting Success from the Type dropdown.

On Error

In this section you can define rules to be executed when the process of updating a record encounters an error.

For example: To track the failure, you can add a Show Message rule. You can then specify the title, message, and type of the error.
