In some instances, you may want to delete attributes from a catalog configuration. When an attribute is deleted from a catalog, future indexing for the class in the catalog will not include deleted attributes. To delete an attribute from a catalog configuration:
- In the Catalogs dialog box, double-click on the catalog from which you want to delete an attribute.
- Select the attribute you want to delete. When All is selected you can see all configured attributes.
- Click Delete.
- Click OK.
If an index was performed including the attribute before the attribute was deleted, the data for that attribute is still included in the class full text indexed data. In order to delete existing attribute data from a catalog, you must delete class data from the catalog and perform a new index to create class data with the appropriate attributes. For more information on deleting class data, see Deleting Class Data from a Catalog.
