Deleting Status Codes

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

Warning

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

  • Status codes cannot be in use: If the status code is currently assigned to any component within the system, then it cannot be deleted.

To delete a status code, follow these steps:

  1. To begin deleting a status code, navigate to the ‘Status Codes’ management page (Assets Menu > Status Codes).

  2. This page renders every status code currently configured in the system. To delete a particular status code, click the trash-can ‘Delete’ icon at the far right-hand side of the row. If the button is not enabled, this means that the status code cannot be deleted (see warning notes, above).

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

  4. The status code will now be permanently deleted from the system.
