Procedure

  1. You can delete a single or multiple schedules or export results. 
    • To delete a single item, click the More actions icon for the corresponding item. 
    • To delete multiple items, select the checkbox for the corresponding items. 
  2. From the list of actions, click Delete.
  3. A dialog box displays, asking you to confirm the delete action.
  4. Depending on what you are deleting, you will get the following options: 
    • If deleting a schedule with export results associated with it, you have the following choices: 
      • Delete: This choice permanently deletes the selected schedule and results.
      • Archive: This choice sets the schedule frequency to Archived and the schedule will no longer run, but results can still be accessed. You can continue to access an archived schedule and you have the option to restore it, if needed.
    • If deleting a schedule without export results associated with it, you can confirm that you want to permanently delete the schedule. 
    • If deleting export results, you can confirm that you want to permanently delete the results. This has no effect on the schedule.
