Delete Entity (Activity)
- Purpose: To remove or delete a data entity from the system's data store.
- Functionality: The "Delete Entity" activity allows you to delete a specific record or object from a defined entity type. You would typically configure this activity with:
- Entity Type: The type of entity to delete from (e.g., "Customer", "Order", "Product").
- Entity Identifier: The unique ID or key of the entity to be deleted.
- Deletion Criteria (Potentially): In some systems, you might be able to specify more complex criteria for deletion beyond just the entity ID.
- Use Cases:
- Data Management Workflows: Deleting customer records, orders, products, or other data entities when they are no longer needed or become obsolete.
- Data Cleanup and Maintenance: Removing outdated or invalid data from the system's data store.
- Implementing "Delete" Operations in Applications: Workflows can be used to implement the backend logic for "delete" operations in user interfaces or APIs.
