When deleting items from As-Built, Project Center or a Project, the deletion process is influenced by the item selected for deletion, and the status of the parent items associated with the deleted item. The software processes the delete request as follows:

You can delete from the As-Built, Project Center to the Project, from the Project to the As-Built, Project Center, or from Project to Project. When deleting a child item from a parent, and using the Copy to Merge Buffer or Copy to Claim Buffer command, the items appear in the Project To Do List. Next to each item an icon is displayed indicating what action will be taken when the items are copied (merged or claimed) to the As-Built, Project Center, or Project. When the parent item and its children are copied (merged or claimed) back to the As-Built, Project Center, or Project, the deleted child is deleted from the parent and from the database.

For example:

In a project you have a junction box, rack and a number of slots. You decide that you do not require all the slots and delete two. Using the shortcut menu Project Activities > Copy to Merge Buffer, you copy the junction box to the Projects To Do List. The junction box and its children are displayed in the Buffer tab and the deleted slots are marked with an Delete Icon 16, indicating that the items are to be deleted. After copying (merge) the items to the As-Built, when you open the As-Built plant and locate the junction box you just copied back to the As-Built, the slots has been deleted from the database and no longer appear as child items of the junction box.

When deleting a root (parent) item the software automatically adds the root item to the Delete Items tab, with no need to use the Copy to Merge Buffer command. If the root item has child items, though they are not displayed in the Delete Items tab they are deleted along with the root item at the end of the process. From the Delete Items tab, running the delete task deletes from the database the root object (and any children).

For example:

Using the same junction box, rack, and slots, select the junction box and select Delete from the shortcut menu. This deletes the junction box and its children, from the project Domain Explorer. The junction box is displayed in the Project To Do List > Delete Items tab (no children are displayed). Then selecting the item in the Delete Items tab and right-clicking Delete, removes the root item (and any children) from the database of the target As-Built, Project Center, or Project.

  • Delete Items can only be applied to items in the As-Built/Project Center and its projects, or between two projects.

  • In the event of failure in the deletion process (partial or full), the software reverts everything to the way it was prior to using the delete command.

  • When deleting Jumpers or Cross Wiring from a Project they are not displayed in the Project To Do List.
