Delete objects

If you create in easymap an object (map object, analysis, table, query, territory structure), easymap will automatically check whether other objects are dependent on this object. Therefore, it may be necessary to delete other objects when deleting objects (deletion forwarding).

If more than one object is affected by the deletion process, easymap will show a list of objects that must also be deleted. If you do not want to do this, you can cancel the deletion process at this point.

If a map element with sub-elements is deleted (e.g. a sheet or a map), all contained elements are automatically deleted. In this case, there is no explicit hint (if you delete a folder in Explorer, of course all files in it will be deleted as well).

In rare cases, it may be that an object cannot be deleted because a dependent object may not be deleted (for example, objects may not be deleted with easymap office the objects of the territory organization are not deleted). easymap informs you of this with a message.

Examples of Deletion Transfer

• If a table is deleted, all analyses based on this table must also be deleted.
• When a territorial level is deleted, all territorial levels based on it and all map levels representing this territorial level must also be deleted.
• If a map is deleted to which an inset map belongs, this inset map will also be deleted. The same applies to a scale.
• If a map containing analyses is deleted, the analyses are also deleted.

Note: If you want to delete a map or table but not an analysis based on it, reassign the analysis to another table or map using the command Data basis....
