1.10.7. Deleting Attributes

In ADMET Predictor, compound attributes exist whether or not they are currently displayed in the spreadsheet, just as hiding rows does not delete them. Hence deleting columns and deleting attributes are separate operations. The former operation changes what is displayed in the spreadsheet, but does not delete the underlying data: the column can always be re-displayed at a later time. The latter operation deletes the attribute permanently, as well as any columns that display it in the spreadsheet.

To delete a column, but not the underlying attribute, right click on the column header and choose Undisplay Column. Alternately, use VIEW>>Arrange Columns and move one or more attributes from the right-hand box (displayed columns) to the left-hand box (available columns).

To delete an attribute, use DATA>>Modify Compound Attributes. This launches the Compound attributes dialog, where you can select one or more attributes and delete them using the Delete Selected button. A faster way to delete a single attribute is to right click its column header and choose Delete Attribute from the context menu.
