Delete Equipment

Note: Equipment is never actually deleted, but the record becomes inactive. Equipment deletions can be reversed using the Add-Back Equipment task. See Add-Back Equipment.

The Delete Equipment function allows a user to deactivate an Umler record, sending the record to archive. To delete a record:

1. Select Maintenance>Add/Change/Delete>Delete Equipment. The Delete Equipment page is displayed (Exhibit 126).
