Deactivating a model

Deactivate a model to make its associated custom type and aspect unavailable in SkyVault Share.
If you have applied a model's custom type or aspect to a file in SkyVault Share, you cannot deactivate the model directly from the Model Manager. Use the Find Where Used option to search and locate all the nodes in SkyVault to which the relevant type or aspect has been applied. For more information, see Creating new custom types and aspects.
  • If you have applied a model's custom type to any files and folders in SkyVault Share, delete the files or folders that use the type from SkyVault Share and your trashcan, and then deactivate the model using Model Manager.
  • If you have applied a model's aspect to a file in SkyVault Share, remove the aspect from the node, then deactivate the model using Model Manager.
  • If you have applied a model's custom type and aspect to a file in SkyVault Share, delete the file from SkyVault Share and your trashcan, and then deactivate the model using Model Manager.

    Note: If you have created a filter for a custom model, remember to remove the filter from the Search Manager when you delete the model.
