Deleting Report Categories
When a report category is no longer required, the Metrix Asset Management system provides functionality for administrators to permanently remove it from the system.
Deleting report categories cannot be undone. The following restrictions also apply when it comes to deleting forms:
- Report category cannot be in use: If the report category is currently assigned to any component, regardless of status, then it cannot be deleted.
To delete a report category (including all of it’s options), follow these steps:
-
To begin deleting a report category, navigate to that report category (Assets Menu > Report Categories > Selected Category).
-
Underneath the category 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 Report Category’. If the button is not enabled, this means that the category cannot be deleted (see warning notes, above).
-
In the subsequent dialog, confirm your decision by clicking ‘Delete’.
-
The report category will now be permanently deleted from the system.
