View and Unlink Objects
After you create links between activities and model objects, you can view and manage them.
In this article:
View an Activity's Links
In List & Model view, the Model linking attribute shows an icon when the activity has:
- Links to one or more model objects
- Rules applied using autolink, but no links because no objects currently match those rules
Click the icon to:
- View the linked model objects highlighted in the viewer, if any.
- Open the model object panel.
The model object panel shows:
- How many model objects are linked to the activity, if any.
- How many rules apply to the activity, if any.
- A search bar where you can search for objects by name.
- The name of each object linked to the activity.
- Linked by rule: Marks objects linked by a rule created by autolink or link with filters.
Select one or more objects to highlight them in the viewer. You can unlink one or all objects, as described in the following sections.
Unlink objects
Members with Update permission or above can unlink objects. The effect of unlinking depends on whether a link was created manually, by autolink, or with filters. See About Links and Rules to learn how different actions affect rules and links.
Unlink one or more objects
If the link was created:
- Manually: Removes only that link.
- Using autolink or with filters: Removes the link and adds the object to the activity's exclusion list. The object doesn't relink automatically when a new model version matches it again.
Select the objects, then click Unlink.
The warning dialog confirms that you're unlinking the object from the activity.
Click Unlink.
Note: Selecting all objects has the same effect as unlinking all objects.
Unlink all objects
Unlinking all objects removes all links and rules from the activity.
Click the More menu at the top right of the panel.
Select Unlink all.
Click Unlink all in the dialog.
