Deletion of a rule

In some cases, users may want to remove one or more data quality rules — for example, when a rule is outdated, duplicated, or no longer relevant for the table.

The DQC Platform offers multiple options to delete rules either individually or in bulk.

1. Delete a rule from the rule overview

On the Rule overview screen, each rule has a dedicated delete icon.

Steps:

1. Navigate to the Rules tab

2. Locate the rule you want to delete

3. Click the delete icon next to the rule

Removes one rule directly from the overview

2. Delete a rule from the Rule detail view

You can also delete a rule while editing it:

1. Open the rule from the Rules tab

2. Click on “...” in the top-right corner

3. Select “Delete”

Ideal for removing a rule during inspection or editing

3. Delete multiple rules at once

You can delete multiple rules in bulk from the Rule overview:

1. Tick the checkbox next to each rule

2. Click the “Delete” button above the list

Efficient way to clean up outdated or irrelevant rules

Notes

• Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone

• Rules can only be deleted if the user has the appropriate access rights

• Deleting a rule removes it from all checks and dashboards
