Delete

Most records can be deleted by clicking on the Delete icon when the record is displayed on its screen or validation table. System constraints may prohibit deleting certain records.

Deleting is permanent. Records can be re-added, but no "trash can" allows deleted records to be restored.

The Delete icon is used to delete the displayed record.

CAUTION!  Deleting a record removes it permanently. Consult your system administrator for guidelines on deleting items from the system databases.

Delete Icon

Note:  From the online system, an employee's own records are view-only, except through self-service roles or on the Employee Out of Office Detail. A user with a different employee number needs to delete records for the employee as needed.

How to Delete

• A record?  To delete a record, go to the record, click on the Delete icon, and in response to the prompt, click Yes to permanently delete the record.
• An employee?  To delete an employee from the system, use the Employee Delete Wizard.

• A code?  To delete a code from the system (use caution), navigate to its record on its validation table, click on the Delete icon, and in response to the prompt, click Yes to permanently delete the record. Alternatively, de-activate the code record.

CAUTION!  Deleting records on validation tables may orphan records and cause serious system consequences. Once a record or code is removed, it cannot be recalled. However, it may be re-added. It may be advisable to de-activate the code instead of deleting it.
