Set Up Tables for Deletion

WARNING: DATA DELETION IS PERMANENT

Please be sure all your setup settings are correct before running Data Deletion. Once a run is started, even if forced to stop, some data may be lost if not done immediately or correctly.

Tool Search: Student Data Deletion

The Tables Deletion Details is where tables can be selected to keep or remove data (Include/Exclude). 

Some tables are excluded by Campus and cannot be set to allow deletion. Any changes to the Campus Excluded tables would need to go through the DOE.

Show Dependent Tables

By clicking the View button in the Dependent Tables column, you can view the tables that have dependents that rely on the existence of a record in a higher level table. If the higher level table is selected for deletion, the dependent tables will also have their records removed for that student. The dependent tables are also listed in the Excel Export.

Warning: Unlike the Table Deletion Detail, selecting the Reset Defaults will immediately save the changes and reload the grid.
