Deleting

ghilton

Is it possible on the GUI to delete multiple records?

On our system we have a list of people that the client can add then they submit these.

In some cases after entering say 10 names they may want to delete 5 but they have to do this on an indivual basis at present and is time consuming. Is there a way to select multiple records and delete them?

Just make a process deletes clients & make sure that client is a process input.

Then you put this process in your list of operations allowed for the query & make sure to indicate that the process can be used for multiple instances.

Sorry Tom you have lost me?

1- Make a process: DELETE Client.

Make sure that Client is Process Input

2- Make a Query that lists Client instances

3- Put process from #1 as an operation to #2. In the Applicability box of the operation, check "applicable to multiple items"

Now run the query.

You don't even need a process. You can define a "Delete" operation for any query and make sure the operation is "applicable to multiple items"

Nope still not with you at the moment.

OK what I have is a query -

FIND Temp WHERE Temp.AgencyCode=LoggedInSystemUser.LoginName AND Temp.PROTECTION='No'

This returns all the Temp staff I have just entered ready to be submitted. As an example I now have a list of say 10 names but I have found problems with say three of them which I want to delete.

What I have to do at present is highlight them one at a time but I want to make multiple selections then delete.

Hope that makes sense?

Do you know how to define/edit an operation on a query?

ghilton

nope

ghilton

tell a lie I do.... I just fail to see how I can make multiple selections from the list to delete.

Oe are you saying it will have the delete button on the left side of the record so I would still have to press delete 3 times?

tford

It's in the help / User Guide. This is basic stuff 🙂

ghilton

yep it is simple stuff when it works 🙂

I have a delete operation in my query that is applicable to multi items but I can still only select one at a time 🙁

tford

What build are you running? Do you have Delete operation as "below the list"

ghilton

this app is on build 2.4 but yes have that option

tford

I'm GUESSING that was not supported in 2.4.... very old build
