Delete agents
The service of DiversityAgents is used by other modules. Therefore it must be avoided to delete referenced datasets. Instead of deleting an agend, consider to set it to a synonym of a valid entry and set the type of the synonymy to replaced with.
To remove an agent you have 2 options:
- Select the agent in the result list of the query and click on the
delete button
- Choose all agents in the result list of the query with a click on the
Remove agents from the menu
button and choose Data -
If the agents should only be removed from a project choose in the menu Data - Remove from project. This option will fail for agents with only one project. Agents will not be removed from the last project.
