Why can I not delete an Employee or certain Element?
Answer



An element or a certain user cannot be deleted from Office Timesheets is because the SQL database integrity will be compromised if this information can be deleted. Once an element or an employee is linked to a task they cannot be deleted. The second reason is because Office Timesheets has a "Re-generation" function that allows "deleted" task(s) to be regenerated. In order for this feature to function properly all corresponding elements have to remain within the database.

(1) To clean up the user's view of these Elements simply set them to "inactive". This can be done by double clicking on the desired Element.




(2) Then choose the "inactive" option from the drop down menu. Click on the "Save & Close" button to save the changed status.




(3) Next on the list of Elements choose the "Active" option from the "Filter View" drop down menu.




(4) Once the Element has an "inactive" status it will no longer display on any "Active" view page throughout Office Timesheets.
