A master record Make sure that the record you want to delete is active (use navigation script steps),
and then use Delete Record/Request. If the current layout contains a
portal, click
anywhere on the record outside of the portal to make sure that no related record is
selected, then use Delete Record/Request.
A related record Use the Delete Portal Row script step. If Delete Record/Request executes when a
related field in a portal is selected, the user sees a dialog box that asks whether the
master record or related record should be deleted.
A find request Make sure that the find request you want to delete is active (use navigation script
steps), and then use Delete Record/Request.
