    • Key Ids: Provide a list of key IDs of the records to be deleted.
  4. Execution:
  5. The activity executes asynchronously, deleting the specified records from the dataset using their key IDs.

Considerations

  • Data Integrity: Ensure that the document ID, parameter definition ID, and key IDs are valid and correctly specified to avoid errors during the deletion process.
  • Permanent Deletion: Be aware that deleting dataset records 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.
