Hi there, I am trying to delete NDS, NDS type is a data base fields. Is there any way we can delete it.

To replace existing NDS, I have to delete all fields from all the labels(Around 40) and then import new NDS, however I was trying to find easy way out if I can delete the whole existing NDS, instead deleting fields one by one. 

Thanks,

Gauri.

  To remove the names of database fields from the label(s) then you need to delete the database link and reconnect to your new database which will then pull in the new field names. This however will have an impact on all the labels connected to the original database as the "map" between what database field links to what label field will be lost and you will probably need to reconnect at least some, if not all, of your label fields again.  

  FYI: Named Data Sources are different to Database field names and if you click to delete the named field you will be asked if you want to remove the named data source too, although this will be label specific
