Deleting Task Types

When a task type is no longer required, the Metrix Asset Management system provides functionality for administrators to permanently remove it from the system.

Warning

Deleting task type specifications cannot be undone. The following restrictions also apply when it comes to deleting task types:

  • Task Type definition cannot be in use: If the task type is currently assigned to any asset or component classification, then it cannot be deleted.
  • Task Type definition cannot have tasks recorded against it: If there are any tasks recorded against the task type, then it cannot be deleted.

To delete a task type definition, follow these steps:

  1. To begin deleting a task type definition, navigate to that task type within the Task Type management page (Assets Menu > Task Types > Selected Task Type).

  2. Underneath the task type title, there is an ‘Actions’ button – this type of button is implemented system-wide as an indicator of additional options to manage a resource.

  3. From the ‘Actions’ menu, choose ‘Delete’. If the button is not enabled, this means that the task type cannot be deleted (see warning notes, above).

  4. In the subsequent dialog, confirm your decision by clicking ‘Yes, delete’.

  5. The task type definition will now be permanently deleted from the system.
