Once a checklist is opened within RayQC and the Checklist Editor mode is active, it is possible to remove elements from any of the existing groups of the checklist.
A group has to have at least one element, thus deleting the last element of a group is not possible. If the whole group is obsolete, directly deleting the group object from the checklist is the recommended procedure.
Be aware: Deleting an element simultaneously deletes all sub-elements that have been nested below the element, as well as all conditions pointing to the element. |
1.Scroll the checklist area to display the group that contains the item that is about to be deleted.
2.If the target group is collapsed, expand it to reveal its items.
3.There are 2 options to delete the item:
- Right-click on the item and select Delete from the context menu
- Left-click on the item and press the Delete key on your keyboard
4.Within the confirmation dialog, review the list of affected conditions and sub-elements to make sure the item deletion does not cause unexpected side-effects.
5. Click on YES, REMOVE to delete the item, or click on DO NOT REMOVE or CANCEL to abort the deletion.
Clicking YES, REMOVE automatically closes the confirmation dialog, removes the selected item from the checklist group and updates both items with conditions pointing to the deleted element as well as the index values of all items within the same group but with a later position.
Note: Please make sure to save the changes made to the checklist structure to keep them permanently. If the changes are not saved, closing the checklist file leads to the loss of all new settings! |
