Deleting an attribute

When you delete an attribute, you also remove the attribute from all item and folder types, and delete any information stored in that attribute for any item or folder of a type that uses the attribute.

You must be the content area administrator, the portal administrator, or have Manage privileges on All Content Areas to delete an attribute.

To delete an attribute:

  1. In the Navigator, click the Content Areas tab.

  2. Navigate to the following path:

    Path: Content Areas > ContentAreaDisplayName > Custom Types > Attributes

    where ContentAreaDisplayName is the content area in which the attribute was created.

    Note: If the attribute is shared, it will be in the Shared Objects content area.

  3. In the row for the attribute that you want to delete, click Delete.

  4. In the confirmation page, click Yes.
