Deleting Forms
When a form is no longer required, the Metrix Asset Management system provides functionality for administrators to permanently remove it from the system.
Deleting form definitions cannot be undone. The following restrictions also apply when it comes to deleting forms:
- Form definition cannot be in use: If the form definition is currently assigned to any asset or component classification, then it cannot be deleted.
To delete a form definition, follow these steps:
-
To begin deleting a form definition, navigate to that form within the Form Manager page (Assets Menu > Form Manager > Selected Form).
-
Underneath the form title, there is an ‘Actions’ button – this type of button is implemented system wide as an indicator of additional options to manage a resource.
-
From the ‘Actions’ menu, choose ‘Delete Form’. If the button is not enabled, this means that the form cannot be deleted (see warning notes, above).
-
In the subsequent dialog, confirm your decision by clicking ‘Yes delete this form’.
-
The form will now be permanently deleted from the system.
