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:
-
In the Object class field, select the class of the target object.
-
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. -
Select the relation type in the Relationship drop-down list.
-
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.
