When working in Pigment, you’ll need to remove items from a Dimension or Transaction List at some point. Depending on how many items you want to delete, here are options on how to remove one item or several.
Members must have the Remove List Items permission to remove List items. You can assign this permission for specific Lists within a Role.
Use Delete Item Option
Removing a single item is straightforward.
- Open your List from your Board or from Block Explorer.
- Right-click the Item you want to remove, and select Delete Item.
If you want to hide Items in Lists instead of deleting them, use the filter icon to display specific Items in. your List. For more information, see Filter Data in Pigment.
Use Manage Items Option
You can delete several Items from a List simultaneously:
- Open your List from your Board or your Block Explorer.
- (Optional) Create a filter to display only the List items that you want to delete.
- Click Manage Items from the Block header.
- Select the checkboxes beside the Items you want to delete.
As you select Items, located underneath the List you see:
- the number of items selected
- a Delete button - Click Delete.
Clear Items Prior to Import Option
Another option to delete multiple Items is to use the Clear Items Prior to Import option during an import. This method clears Items in your Transaction list and then replaces them with Items from imported data.
This option is only available for Transaction Lists.
There are two options to specify which Items are deleted:
- Delete all Items. This is the default setting and it removes the entire list of Items.
- Delete specific Items. This is where you select and delete a limited scope of Items.
For more information, see Clear Items prior to import in Transactions Lists.
