Deleting domains

You can delete most domains when they are no longer useful.

About this task

You cannot delete a synonym domain. You can delete other types of domains, but not if the domain is assigned to an attribute. To delete the domain, you must first disassociate the attribute.

Deleting a domain does not affect values that have already been inserted on records. For example, if a user inserts a value in a field using a domain select value list, that value remains on the record. The value remains on the record even if the domain is later disassociated from the attribute and deleted.

Procedure

  1. In the Domains application in the Domains table window, select the domain that you want to delete and click the Mark Row for Delete icon.
  2. In the warning message, click Yes.
  3. Save your changes.
