Deleting a Property

How to Delete a Property in Kadal Content Manager

When a property is no longer relevant or in use, you can delete it from the Metadata Library to maintain a clean and organized metadata structure. However, deletion should be done cautiously, especially if the property is actively used across documents or assets.

Steps:

1. Log in to Kadal Content Manager.

Note: The Metadata Governance section is only visible to users with valid permission assigned to their user role.

2. Navigate to Metadata Governance:
   • In the left navigation panel, click on Metadata Governance.
3. Open Metadata Library:
   • Inside Metadata Governance, click on the Metadata Library option.
4. Switch to Property Tab:
   • The Metadata Library page has two tabs at the top: Property and Statement.
   • Make sure you're on the Property tab.
5. Locate the Property to Delete
   • Browse through the list of existing properties. Each entry displays:
     • Name
     • Alignment (number of associations)
     • Status (Active or Inactive)
     • Last Modified
6. Open the Delete Menu
   • Hover over the property you want to delete.
   • Click on the vertical ellipsis icon (⋮) that appears.
   • Select Delete from the dropdown options.
7. Confirm Deletion
   • A confirmation dialog will appear.
   • Review any warnings about active associations.
   • Click Confirm to permanently delete the property.

Note: Properties currently in use (i.e., have existing associations) may be restricted from deletion or will prompt additional warnings before removal.
