Delete a Variable

Note:

Before you delete a variable, note the Used By information. When you delete a variable, you also
delete the Used By information, which can be useful when resolving validation errors.

You can delete any custom variables that you created. You cannot delete read-only variables, which include
variables in the System and Specimen categories. Deleted variables are not fully deleted from the project
until you save the project.

1. Click the Variables tab.

2. Click Update Used By to update the column in the table that shows whether the variable is in use in

the project.

If you delete a variable that is in use, validation errors occur in the project where the deleted variable
is referenced. You must resolve validation errors before you can create a new test run.

3. Select the variable in the table and press the Delete key.

4. If you delete a variable that is in use, you are prompted to confirm deleting the variable. Click Yes.
