How to temporary flush the content of an Object Type?

I have a test object which has numerous rows (>1M) and which daily indexed storage cost.

I would like to temporarily “flush” this object so that no Object instance is indexed. I don’t want to delete the configuration of the object (e.g. I don’t want to fully delete the object).

Is it possible to just “deindex” the Object Type ? Or flush the content temporarily ?

Hi Vincent,

If your rows come from a backing dataset, you can just swap the backing dataset. That would preserve all the Object configuration (I did a swap like this just last week). I would create a child dataset keeping one row, so you are guaranteed to keep the same schema.

But it would be nice to have an option to deindex an Object type, even if it would be available only for “Experimental” and “Deprecated” types

Cheers,
Yurii

You can click ‘remove’ on the object backing which should keep the object type registered, but no instances indexed.

I’m not sure what exactly this will break, but it might be less disruptive to just switch the backing dataset to an empty one as Yurri suggests.
