Deleting a Statement Type

How to Delete a Statement Type in Kadal Content Manager

Deleting a Statement Type helps keep your metadata library clean and relevant. However, Kadal enforces safe deletion rules to prevent accidental loss of data connected to existing Statements.

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 the Statement Tab
   • On the Metadata Library screen, you'll see two tabs at the top: Property and Statement.
   • Click on the Statement tab.
   • The left pane lists all existing Statement Types, and the right pane shows the Statements under each type.
5. Open the Delete Menu
   • Hover over the Statement Type you wish to delete.
   • Click the vertical ellipsis (⋮) icon that appears.
   • Select Delete from the dropdown menu.
6. Check for Dependencies
   • If the Statement Type is currently being used by one or more Statements, you will receive a warning, and deletion will not be allowed.
     • You must remove all Statements under this type before proceeding.
   • If the Statement Type is associated with another Statement Type, you will be alerted but allowed to proceed with deletion.
7. Confirm Deletion
   • If there are no dependencies, you will be prompted to confirm the deletion.
   • Click Delete to permanently remove the Statement Type from the system.

Note: Deletion is only allowed if the Statement Type has no Statements using it. If it is associated with another Statement Type, the delete option won't be visible.
