Once you are familiar with the example data delivered with Alfabet , you can delete it from the database via the Clear Database functionality. Clearing the database clears the audit data and resets indices to start numbering of objects from zero. The following will not be deleted when the database is cleared:
- Evaluation types and role types will not be deleted. This includes all evaluation types and role types that you have created as well as the preconfigured evaluation types and role types available with the sample data. They are integral to the product and to the analyses available in Alfabet .
- User groups will not be deleted.
- Predefined users and as well as users (class Person) that you have added to the repository will not be deleted.
The Clear Database functionality should be used with caution. When you clear the database, the example data as well as any data you have added will be irrevocably deleted in a one-time operation. Objects that have been deleted from the database cannot be restored.
It is recommended to hide the Clear Database button once your production data is loaded. Customers with access to Alfabet Expand can hide the button via the class settings . If you do not have access to Alfabet Expand, contact Alfabet Support to hide the button.
To clear the example data, go to Data Import > Clear Database. The dataset displays all object data in the database that will be deleted and the user and user group data that will remain after deletion. Click Clear Complete Database. An event to irrevocably delete all relevant data regardless of the release status is triggered.
