Usage

  1. Setup Activity:
  2. Add the "Delete Dataset Record By Key Value" activity to your UiPath workflow.
  3. Configure the required input arguments:
    • Document Id: Specify the document ID of the dataset.
    • Parameter Definition Id: Specify the parameter definition ID of the dataset.
    • Key Value: Provide the key value of the record to be deleted.
  4. Execution:
  5. The activity executes asynchronously, deleting the specified record from the dataset based on its key value.
  6. It uses the configured API context to perform the deletion via the dataset client.
  7. Output:
  8. The activity returns aList<CustomDataSetRecord>, which may represent the remaining records in the dataset or provide information related to the operation, depending on the implementation.

Considerations

  • Data Integrity: Ensure that the document ID, parameter definition ID, and key value are valid and correctly specified to avoid errors during the deletion process.
  • Permanent Deletion: Be aware that deleting a dataset record is usually irreversible. Confirm the action before proceeding.
  • Permissions: Verify that the necessary permissions are in place for the user or application performing the deletion to prevent unauthorized actions.
  • Error Handling: Implement error handling to manage potential issues such as network connectivity problems or invalid input data.
