Deleting objects

Users can delete folders and reports from the Contents area by selecting items from the list and clicking the Delete button. When the button is clicked, the Delete function is called. This function generates the list of objects to be deleted, and reloads viewmanager.csp, passing in the following parameter value: action=delete:

The following is a conditional statement in viewmanager.csp:

if(action == "delete")

This statement ensures that if action=delete appears in the query string, the IDs of the objects to be deleted from the current destination are requested and two properties for these objects are retrieved: SI_ID and SI_FILES. It then deletes the file contents of the selected destination objects, and commits the changes to the APS.
