Delete Semantic Type

To delete a semantic type, perform these steps:

  1. On the Metadata Insights menu bar, click Define Glossary > Semantic Type.
  2. From the list of semantic types displayed on the page, select the required semantic type and click the Delete semantic type icon .
    In case the list of semantic types is long, you can filter those using:
    • The associated tags: Tags represent the category to which the semantic type belongs. You can associate multiple tags to a semantic type. To filter using tags, click the Tags drop-down on the right side above the semantic type list, and select the required tag.
    • Name or description of the semantic type: To filter using the name of the semantic type or its description, write it in the type-ahead text box beside the Tags drop-down.
  3. Click Yes on the Confirm Semantic Type Delete pop-up.
    Note: To delete multiple entities in one go, select all those and click the Delete semantic type icon .
