Deleting Records

When you delete a record, you also delete all information dependent on the record. However, if you entered associated information separately from the record, you only delete the association when you delete the record - not the information. For example, if the user deletes a child record to another record, the parent record information remains intact, minus the deleted child record information.

To view a list of deleted records, click the View Log button and select Delete Record Log from the pop-up menu.

You can delete records that you already submitted successfully to the database, or delete partially-completed records.
