Delete an Item

Delete can be used, for example, when an item appears to be dysfunctional or corrupted, or when an experimental or incorrect item has inadvertently been left in the database. Note that deleting an item removes all of its data including its ID, which can leave gaps in the numerical order of the Items list. It is therefore recommended to use deletion sparingly.

To delete one or more items:

1. From the main Items page, select the check box for the item(s) you want to delete.
2. Click Delete. A popup window appears asking you to confirm that you want to delete the selected item(s).
3. Click OK. The item(s) is/are deleted.
   
   NOTE: A user can only delete an item if their assigned role allows it.
