Archive 1.x:Individual OSF-Drupal Delete Record Tool

This function is not available to all users. It often requires being at least at a 'contributor' level or similar.

Deleting a record begins by selecting the Delete Record tool from the main tools listing, or from choosing the same icon from a results set page or when viewing an individual record. If selected from the main tools listing, it is necessary of course to identify the record to be deleted:



One reason to give new records logical identifiers is to be able to later enter that on this or similar screens. You will also need to identify the parent dataset (graph). However, even with a logical name, direct entry via this screen may still be difficult given the need to enter the full path name of the URI identifier.

As a result, it is more likely (and often easier and faster) to find your record via a search or browse. Because of that, both of these links are offered from the main Delete Record tool as well.

Once the record has been selected, you are given a confirmation warning (not shown) prior to finalizing the delete.
