Unrelate

Introduced in 2021

Updated in 2026

An Unrelare operation removes a relation between the current object and a target object. The unrelated related object disappears from the Relationships tab of the current object's detail form. You configure this operation using the Unrelate window.

To configure an Unrelate operation:

  1. In the Object class field, select the class of the target object.

  2. Specify the target object in the Object field:

    • To specify an expression that will dynamically select the target object at runtime, click the Expression Builder button and use the Build Expression window to enter a SQL expression or script. The expression or script must return the object identifier (such as the Computer ID or Incident Number value).

      NOTE: If the SQL expression or script returns multiple object identifiers, Alloy Navigator uses the first one and ignores the others.

    • To specify a static object, click the ellipsis button and select the target object using the Select [Object] window.

  3. Select the relation type in the Relationship drop-down list.

  4. Click OK.

NOTE: When the specified relation with the target object does not exist, Alloy Navigator skips the Unrelate operation.

TIP: If you plan to use the Unrelate operation as the primary purpose of a step action, consider adding a display condition to check whether the specific type of relationship exists between the objects. The default workflow uses this approach for the Unrelate step actions. For details, see Building conditions.
