Removing data elements from a collection

Collections hold references to the data elements. When you remove a data element from a collection, you actually remove the reference to the data element definition from the collection. The definition for the data element remains in the files so that other collections can use it.

To remove a data element reference from a collection:

  1. In the CHA Data view, expand the collection so that you can see the data element you want to remove. This is actually a reference to the data element.
  2. Right-click the data element reference.
  3. Select Delete.
  4. To proceed with deleting the reference to the data element, click OK in the dialog box that appears.
