Previewing and deleting records in Data Management Console
Safely delete records from a table without using scripts and without deleting the table by creating one-time delete rules.
Overview of deleting records using one-time delete rules
- Create a one-time delete rule
Define a rule for deleting records now or at a later date.
- Define one-time delete rule conditions
Define one or more conditions that identify the records to be deleted.
- Select associated records to delete
Specify which associated records to delete when the one-time delete rule runs.
- Schedule or execute a one-time delete rule
Schedule a date and time to execute a one-time delete rule or execute it after you finish creating it.
- View a summary of your one-time delete rule
View a summary of your one-time delete rule and decide whether to activate it.
If you must delete a large number of records from a table rather than a selection of records, use the table cleaner option. For details, see Deleting older or unwanted records in Data Management Console.
