Delete Application Data Elements

Delete Application Data Elements

In Unite, you can batch delete specific elements of an application such as field values and/or documents. Applications must be closed to batch delete application data. You cannot perform a batch deletion if an application is open. When you delete, you are purging – all information is removed permanently from Unite.

The Super User role is the only role with permission to perform a batch deletion. If you need to grant permission for batch deletion to other roles or users, the user permission is found under People/Actions-Delete.
