Delete

The Delete activity deletes a row from a datagrid table. Before using the Delete activity, you must first create a row object and set a value in all fields of the primary key. The value of the key is unique. If the table contains a row with that key value, then the Delete activity deletes that row from the table. If the table does not contain a row with that key value, then the activity returns without changing the table.

In the Delete tab, you can specify the activity name and a table connection.

If the datagrid for the required table connection is not found, in the Select FireflyResource Resource Template dialog box that opens, click Create Shared Resource to create a datagrid connection first. See Creating a DataGrid and Adding a Table for details.
