How to delete locations

Locations allow you to allocate administrators, audits, tasks, actions and items (assets) to the appropriate site or area. Locations are useful when searching for audits, tasks, actions and items (assets) via the search filters, and extracting reports. Locations are set to three levels, with each level slightly indented.

Please exercise caution when considering the deletion of locations, as this action may result in the loss of location information for any associated audits, tasks, actions, and items (assets) linked to them. For locations that have been deactivated, it is advisable to rename them using a prefix, such as “XXX_Inactive” or a similar designation.

To delete locations, please follow the instructions outlined below.

Deleting a location

  1. Select the “Settings” tab to navigate to the Settings section.

  2. In the “Locations & Admin” page, click in the “Select Location” field to display the dropdown options.

  4. There are three levels for locations, each slightly indented. Click the black "Arrow icon(s)" to expand the location structure to the level and location required.

  5. Hover your mouse over the location you wish to delete and select the “Rubbish Bin icon”.

  6. A “Confirm” message will appear:

    • Are you sure you want to delete this?
