Hi All, If we have a process that creates a Tempo Feed, how do we th

David, what version of Appian?
In 7.9 you can go to /designer and the feed tab.
In 7.10 go to /design find the app. Filter by feed. And check the box to delete.

I think the question is not about the feed, but more about the events. I think this has been discussed earlier. AFAIK events can not be deleted or only manually by an administrator.

Feeds can only be deleted by administrator manually.

Would you be able to delete the entry out of the database on the last step of the process?

So, if I post something to the news feed as part of a process, for example a case management style process, and that process needed to be deleted or ended - how would we delete the post as part of that without doing it manually?

Where this happens, we have deletion processes that we would go through so we audit customer systems etc and it cleans up any processes - but what happens to the feeds?

Just thinking of the user experience and housekeeping.

Off the top of my head, the use case here might best be addressed by thinking about security. It seems to me that if a feed might need to become unavailable for viewing on the news page, then it should have a custom group created for viewing authorization (even if that group is defaulted to include all users). Then perhaps if the feed needs to "go away", then the membership of that group could be cleared out? I'm not sure what the effect of deleting the group would be, though that could be considered also.

David, to be clear, are you talking about a tempo *Feed* or a tempo *Post*? It sounds more like you're talking about individual posts.

All the post information is stored on the primary database so if you have the entry id you could do deletes from the dbo.tp_feed_entry using the id, then from dbo.tp_feed_entry_linked_obj using the id (column tp_feed_entry_id) to delete linked objects. then another delete from dbo.tp_comment using the id(column parent_id) to delete comments on the post. I don't know if that would break anything but its an idea of what you could possibly do.

Yes sorry posts I am referring to, sorry for the confusion.

Deleting from the database would be the way to go we think, but ideally not. Maybe it could be an enhancement for a smart service to delete a post?

If your primary concern is about the link to Record, that link will be gone automatically once the viewing user no longer has access to the Record.
