Delete Device
DEV_DEL
To delete a device, click the Delete device option from the Devices drop-down menu. A list of all devices previously added to the database is displayed in the Functionality area of the screen. However, if a device was previously selected, the information for that particular device will be displayed in the Device field.
This function allows the administrator to delete an existing device from the database. This process is considered a critical delete and must have two confirmations prior to the deletion of any data. This procedure ensures that no valuable information is deleted unintentionally. If the administrator’s intention to delete the device is confirmed both times, the selected device and all related information will be deleted. The information deleted is not recoverable.
To complete the first step in the deletion process, the administrator types the word DELETE just as it appears in the Enter Confirmation field. Click the OK button to continue.
If the administrator decides not to delete the device during the first step in the deletion process, clicking the Cancel button will display the Cancel Confirmation dialog box. Click the OK button and the administrator returns to the Omnixx console Main Menu screen. Note: The device identifier is still entered in the Device field.
The second step is another response to a confirmation box. In this box, the word DeLeTe must be typed into the Enter Confirmation field exactly as shown, with only every other letter capitalized. Click the OK button to continue.
If the administrator decides not to delete the device during the second step in the deletion process, clicking the Cancel button will display the Cancel Confirmation dialog box. Click the OK button and the administrator returns to the Omnixx Console Main Menu screen. Note: The device identifier is still entered in the Device field.
If the deletion is successful, the Delete Device Confirmation message is displayed. Click the OK button to continue. Note: The device identifier is deleted from the Device field in the Omnixx Console Summary area.
By clicking the OK button, the Delete Device Complete message is displayed.
After successfully deleting a device from the database, the administrator clicks the OK button once again and returns to the Omnixx Console Device Functions screen.
