Delete Records
The process for deleting records is similar in all modules. Deleting a record permanently removes the record, therefore, these features should only be used when records and their history are no longer needed.
You must be a member of an access group with permission to delete records to process a deletion.
Delete Individual Records
-
Access the record you want to delete.
-
Click the Delete button.
A dialog box opens, asking you to confirm your choice.
Depending on your system configuration, you may be required to enter a password.
-
Click Yes.
-
If this record is referenced as a key field in other modules of Maintenance Connection, a message appears, indicating that this record cannot be deleted. You can, instead, make the record inactive on the Details page.
To delete a record that is associated with data in other modules, you must first remove these associations. Maintenance Connection will identify the referenced records so that you can then remove these associations and then delete the original record.
-
If the record is not referenced in other modules, the record is deleted.
-
