Deleting via a workflow

The process of deleting objects is often subject to project-specific requirements, e.g., the issue of whether dependent objects should be deleted at the same time and, if so, which ones, as well as which dependencies should prevent deletion. Therefore, we recommend that you create a project-specific workflow for deleting elements.

A workflow for deleting elements will be linked as follows:

• In SiteArchitect, it will be linked to all the control elements for deleting elements (menu bar icons, context menu entry, Del key).
• In ContentCreator, it will be linked to the “Delete” icon at sections and in the Media management as well as to the menu item “Delete” in the menu bar (for example menu PAGE)

For this purpose, the required workflow must be selected in the project properties in FirstSpirit ServerManager under “Options / Workflow to delete elements”.

Below are two examples of how to delete objects via workflows:

• "Delete" workflow: For deleting individual elements and subtrees
• "ContentDeleteDemo" workflow: For deleting structured data
