Snapshot Deletion Tool

The Snapshot Deletion Tool allows district users to request that a snapshot submitted for a state report - LCS, PMR, etc. - be deleted. The state user can either approve the request or deny the request, then archive the request.

District Edition Request to Delete Report Snapshots

  1. Select the Report Type from the dropdown list and click Search Snapshots. Matching results display in the Snapshot Results section. Results can be further filtered by entering values in the search/filter fields for any of the columns. 
  2. Locate the snapshot to request deletion and select that item. Selected snapshots are highlighted in blue. To select multiple items at one time, use CTRL-click or SHIFT-click.
  3. Enter a Request Reason in the Add a comment field. 
  4. Click Request deletion. The request is sent to the state edition for determination. Once the state has processed the request (which may take a few minutes), the Status column displays either DENIED or APPROVED. 
  5. To archive that snapshot, click the Archive button. This removes the snapshot from the list of Pending Requests.
