Removing Locations

Options for removing Locations:

• Deactivating Locations - makes the Location unavailable for users to use, for example, as a record owner. If required, you can reactivate the Location to make it available for users again.

  This can be useful for Locations - for example, staff - who will be away for a period of time but may return, or if you want to retain the Location for historical purposes, for example in the movement history of records.

  If a Location has an Content Manager user login, then deactivating the Location will also remove access toContent Manager for that user.

  See Inactivating, reactivating and deactivating Locations.

  NOTE: A deactivated Location can still be attached to a record as a Contact to indicate that the Contact is or was involved with the record in some way, for example, as author of documents contained in the record.

• Deleting Locations - removes the Content Manager Location from the Locations list. Before deleting it,Content Manager checks whether the Location is used in any manner and presents you with options if it is.

  You cannot reactivate deleted Locations. To use a previously deleted Location, you need to create it again using New.

  See Deleting Locations.
