Deleting an Event
Notes:
Only Positions allocated to a Security Group that has been assigned ‘Edit’ Record Security Rights can delete an Event Record.
Deleting an Event also deletes the associated Tasks, Attachments and History. This may have auditing implications.
Access an Event list.
The ‘Event List’ page is displayed. Click on the Event record to display its details.
The ‘Event’ page is displayed with that record. Hover over, or click the Menu Options icon, then click the Delete 1 option.
The ‘Confirm’ delete window appears. Click OK to delete, or click Cancel.
Note:
The Event record is not immediately deleted, instead the record’s system status is changed from ‘Active’ to ‘To Be Deleted’.
The Record will be really deleted after the number of days set in the ‘Deletion Days’ field of the Configuration Page.
In the mean time, the record can still be view by changing the Status filter.
The record can then be recovered (undeleted).
Undelete an Event
The Event record is not deleted immediately, but rather the record’s system status is changed from ‘Active’ to ‘To Be Deleted’ for a limited time determined by your configuration settings. Hence the record can still be view and the record can also be recovered from this ‘to be deleted’ state.
The Record will be really deleted on its scheduled date by the overnight Monitor and cannot be recovered/undeleted after this time.
The number of days delay, until the deletion of a record is permanent, is configured by the Administrator on the General Configuration tab. For example, this setting is 31 days:
