Delete Parts of a Lifecycle

To delete a status from a lifecycle:

1. Open an existing lifecycle in the Business Objects Lifecycle Editor.
2. Select the status that you want to delete.
3. Right-click and select Delete status or use the menu in the toolbar.
4. Select Yes or No when prompted for confirmation.
   The status is deleted together with the associated transition.

   Tip: If the initial status is deleted, the next status in the cycle becomes the initial one by default.

To delete a status with its children:

5. As above but right-click and select Delete status and children or use the menu in the toolbar.
6. Select Yes or No when prompted for confirmation.
   The stage/status and children are deleted.

To delete an entire lifecycle:

7. Select any stage or status in the lifecycle.
8. In the toolbar menu, select Clear entire lifecycle.
9. Select Yes or No when prompted for confirmation.
   The entire lifecycle is deleted.
10. Select Save on the toolbar (or select Ctrl+S) to save your lifecycle while working. Select OK at the end when editing is complete and you want to save your lifecycle and close the Lifecycle Editor.
    If not valid, you are not allowed to save and are asked to fix the issues. See Validate a Lifecycle.
