How to delete an entity

Sometimes it is necessary to delete an entity from a model. Deleting an entity affects all relationships between it and other entities.

To delete an entity

1. On the Semantics tab, expand Semantic Objects.
   
   
2. Expand Entities, right-click the entity to delete, and then click Delete.
   
   
3. In the Confirm Deletion dialog, select In addition, delete the following objects which refer to the entity <entityname> to delete any joins, phrasing, relationships, or roles that refer to the entity.

   Note  Generally, delete the object associated with the entity; otherwise, the application will not compile if the entity is deleted and the object is not.

4. Click OK when prompted to delete the entity.
