Hi Team,

 

I am trying to delete the default inspection lists however i have filled an inspection for an asset. This is preventing me from deleting the inspection list.

 

I can not delete the associated inspection. There doesnt seem to be an option.

 

any ideas here?

 

Kind regards,

Owen

Hello @OHurs-1741​ ,

 

Thank you for asking your question in our community. You are correct there is no way to delete an inspection in the UI. Support should be able to do it for you though with written consent and understanding of potential consequences.

 

I would encourage you to make a ticket with support questing it to be deleted. Let us know if you have any other questions. We are here to help.

 

Have a great day!

Hey, Owen!

 

So, you can't actually delete single asset-inspection records. The way you to delete records is by setting up a purge schedule so that your records are deleted after a certain period of time.

 

You can set up a purge schedule by going to System > Settings > Data purge and clicking + Schedule.

 

From there, you can set Asset inspection data to be purged as soon as every 3 months. (I don't see inspections tied to groups, so I would use this feature very cautiously, as it may apply to everything in your database.)

 

I'd recommend that if you do not want a data purge on your other information that you set the other categories to every 8 years.

 

Hope this helps get you pointed in the right direction! :)

 

Best,
