Rule: Delete Entity Record

Properties and configuration options for the Delete Entity Record rule, which removes a specific record from a Data Service entity.

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")
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.

Rule output properties​

  • Error - references the error message shown if the job fails.
