Delete Person-related Data Elements

In Unite, you can batch delete specific elements of person’s record such as field values and/or documents. In addition, you can delete a person’s full record. Applications must be closed to batch delete full records. You cannot perform a batch deletion of a person record if the person’s application is open. However, you can batch delete person-related elements on both open and closed applications. When you delete, you are purging – all information is removed permanently from Unite. And if deleting a person, the person is gone 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.
