Deleting Asset Classifications

When an asset classification is no longer required, the Metrix Asset Management system provides functionality for administrators to permanently remove it from the system.

Warning

Deleting asset classifications cannot be undone. The following restrictions also apply when it comes to deleting asset classifications:

  • Asset classification cannot be in use: If the asset classification is in use by any assets, regardless of status, then the classification cannot be deleted.

To delete an asset classification, follow these steps:

  1. To begin, navigate to the asset classification using the ‘Classifications’ page. (Assets Menu > Classifications > Selected Classification).

  2. Click on ‘Edit Configuration’ to enter allow editing the classification definition.

  3. This will convert the view to an editing mode with some additional options. Note: the selected component group will not have any impact on this process.

  4. Click on ‘Delete Asset Classification’ in the upper right-hand corner of the parent asset classification configuration breakdown. If the button is not enabled, this means that the asset classification cannot be deleted (see warning notes, above).

  5. In the subsequent dialog, confirm your decision by clicking ‘Delete’.

  6. The asset classification will now be permanently deleted from the system.
