Deleting a dataset in the Windows Client
Basics
Deleting sets the dataset-status to inactive. It remains existent within the system, including its entire links.
Deleted (inactive) datasets are displayed optically different, so you can distinguish between active datasets on first view. The displayed text is always grey and crossed out. In the form view, the text is grey and the title line of the main window contains the note “deleted”.
Deleted (inactive) datasets are write-protected. Only the field Datarecord status is editable, so the dataset can be set to active again.
Inactive datasets in the tree are only shown to the level branch, when you have conducted a search. In the following branching, linked, inactive datasets are not shown.

The Delete button refers to the dataset marked in the main area, not the sub area.
