Delete Node Properties

Use a  Delete node to delete selected records from a table. Delete nodes will delete records that where the Primary Key for the selected record(s) match those on the specified table. 

A delete node will only delete records from a table with a Type of Transactional.

The Delete node will persist Audit History of records when they are deleted. This is achieved by superseding the previous record and adding a new deleted record into the next recordset. This persists the history of the record. If you wish to purge records from your PhixFlow system entirely, including Audit History, see Bulk Delete Action Properties.

Worked Example

For full details on creating Delete nodes, including worked examples, see Delete Action Configuration.
