Remove a Notification Field

While it is possible to remove a notification field, users are encouraged to make it inactive to preserve all associated historical data and maintain data integrity. Removing a notification field must be done carefully or could cause certain notification types to send incomplete notifications.

PREREQUISITES: The Notification Field security function and its associated sub-functions must be selected for the security role you belong to. See Security Roles for more information. Alternately, on the Employee Relates page select Admin in the Module drop-down list and use the Fields drop-down list to select the notification permissions you want to add. See Admin Pages for more information.

1. From the home page, click Permitting or Configure and click Notification Fields.

TIP: You can filter the list of records displayed. See Filter Records for more information.

2. Select the record you want to make inactive on the Notification Fields panel.
3. Turn off Active in the Details panel to make the notification field unavailable to users.

If no historical data is associated with the record, you can remove it.

IMPORTANT: Before deleting a notification field, we strongly recommend you make sure any notification types referencing the notification field are deleted or rewritten to reference other fields. Any notification types referencing a notification field that has been deleted will be incomplete.

4. Select the record you want to remove on the Notification Fields panel and click Delete selected records.

5. Click Delete on the confirmation panel.
