Delete Assembly Tree Elements from the Volume Range

Assembly tree elements can be deleted from both locked and unlocked volumes. After the element is deleted from the volume range, the Volume structure will be adjusted automatically.

You can remove any assembly tree element from the Volume range:
  • Folder
  • Leaf
  • Placeholder
  • Assigned Document

Before deleting an assembly tree element from a volume range, you may need to refresh the volume so that the elements inside the volume range are up-to-date. After deleting a volume from an assembly tree, you may need to refresh the assembly tree so that Calyx RIM displays the volumes correctly.

To delete an assembly tree element from a volume range:
  1. Right-click the assembly tree element in a volume that you want to delete.
  2. On the pop-up message click OK to continue.
  3. The assembly tree element is deleted and the elements structure in the volume is adjusted.
    Option Description
    If the deleted element is the first element in the volume: The structure is adjusted to start with the next element.
    If the deleted element is the last element in the volume: The structure is adjusted to finish with the previous element.
Unlocked Volumes

You can delete any element inside the unlocked volume, even if the element is the first, or the last, inside the volume range.

If there is only one element in the unlocked volume, then that element and the volume are deleted.

Important: You cannot delete a volume that is located directly below a locked volume. When you attempt to delete the only element in an unlocked volume under a locked volume, a warning message appears and the element is not deleted.

Deleting a parent assembly tree element with child elements and volumes assigned to them causes the assembly tree and volumes structure to be adjusted. All entities are deleted, except the last volume. The last volume is automatically moved to start with the next element that is not a child element of the parent element. For example, if the parent Folder 1 element is deleted, all child elements including the first volume are deleted:

The second volume will start with the Leaf A element, that is not a child element of the Folder 1:

Locked Volumes

You can delete any element inside the locked volume, including the first and the last elements in the locked volume range. The exception is the locked volume that contains only one element.

When you attempt to delete the only element in a locked volume, a warning message appears and the element is not deleted. To delete the element, and the volume itself, the volume must be unlocked and must not be located directly under another locked volume.

When you are deleting a parent assembly tree element with child nodes that contain volumes, they are also deleted. The exception is a parent assembly tree element with child nodes that contain locked volumes. A warning message appears and the element is not deleted.

Note: The locked volume can not be deleted.
