A process can evolve through many iterations before its development becomes finalized. With each such iteration, a user may choose to save the intermediate stages through the "detailing" associated with a process. When the development of the process is completed, these intermediate stages that have been saved may no longer be required.
Upon completion of a process' development, a user may want to delete unwanted intermediate detailing stages, as having too many intermediate stages will make management of the process unneccesarily more difficult. In addtion, unnecessary detailing data occupies space in the database which could otherwise be better utilized, and this increase in the size of database could potentially affect performance.
For this reason, DPM includes the Delete detailing data command to remove any detailing information that is no longer needed.
