Deletion of a variable can be done through the use of the DELETE button [[File:MetisSmartModelingDeleteButton.PNG|link=]]. When deleting a variable or a group of items, its reference in rules and/or mask will be lost. Thus it is very important to verify if the deleted object is used anywhere in a [[Metis_Smart_Modeling_-_Models|model]]. | + | In the “modeling” menu, make sure to select the “variables” sub-menu.
