Disconnecting Objects

Disconnect objects when you need to rearrange the network or when you want to delete or remove a connected object. Typically you will disconnect outlets from a reach so that you can delete the reach, or disconnect outlets from a property to delete the outlet or remove the property.

Note

You will be notified if there are any tags associated with the object that you are trying to disconnect. You must unlink these tags before you can disconnect the site. See Unlinking Tags from a Site for details.

See Deleting and Removing Network Objects for more details.

  1. In the Network Editor, click on the outlet to select it. The connection between the outlet and the reach changes to a dashed line.
