# reloadCriteria()

Instructs the receiver to refetch criteria from its delegate.

```
func reloadCriteria()
```

## Discussion

You can use this method to indicate that the available criteria may have changed and should be refetched from the delegate and the popups recalculated. If any item in a given row is “orphaned” (that is, is no longer reported as a child of its previous parent), its criteria and display values are set to valid choices.
