Examples

Using the setting displayed in the image above, the operation is run on the data shown below. The preview shows that the IllustrationRoot classification reference will be removed.

Another example uses the following product and a function to determine the link being removed. The 'Asset Keywords' attribute on the 'BlueTruckIcon' item holds the ID of the classifications folder. In this case, the reference to 'BlueTruckIcon' should be removed from the Illustrations classification folder.

The Prodval("Asset Keywords") function is used to remove the classification link by getting the value of the attribute that holds the ID of the link to be removed.

Once completed, the asset is no loner linked to the Illustrations classification folder.
