Delete a Custom Object Definition

Delete an existing custom object at any time using the Configure Custom Objects dialog. As long as the custom object is not in use, the definition can be deleted from the Vault.

2. In the Vault Settings dialog box, select the Custom Objects tab and click Configure.
3. On the Configure Custom Objects dialog, select the Custom Object to delete.
4. Click delete.
5. Perform one of these tasks:

   If no instances of the custom object were created in the Vault:

   • Choose Yes on the Confirm Deletion dialog.

   If there are instances of the custom object in the Vault:

   1. Click OK on the dialog that says the definition is in use.
   2. Search the Vault for the custom object instances.
   3. Delete the instances.
   4. Navigate back to the custom object configuration dialog and select the definition.
   5. Click Delete.
   6. Click Yes on the Confirm Deletion dialog.

The custom object definition is deleted. A new definition can be created using the same name if desired.

Note: If there are properties associated with the custom object definition, the administrator is restricted from deleting it.
