Multiple Object Deletion - Items

The Multiple Object Deletion dialog box appears when you select multiple item records in a list box, record set, or Find Tool results list and select Delete.

Use the Multiple Object Deletion dialog box to:

• Suppress warning messages - If you have the required permissions, you can keep the warning messages for unbreakable or breakable links from appearing as the system goes through deleting multiple item records.

Note:
To keep the warning messages for breakable links from appearing, you must have the permission: Suppress warnings for breakable links when deleting multiple item records: Allow.

To keep the warning messages for unbreakable links from appearing, you must have the permission: Suppress warnings for unbreakable links and other stopping conditions, when deleting multiple item records: Allow

• Uncheck the breakable links box to suppress warning messages from appearing when the system encounters item records that have breakable links. The system will continue deleting these records without a warning message.

• Uncheck the unbreakable links and other stopping conditions box to suppress warning messages from appearing when the system encounters item records that have unbreakable links or other conditions that prevent them from being deleted. When the warning messages for unbreakable links are suppressed, these records are skipped because they cannot be deleted, but no warning message appears.

• Confirm that you want to delete the records - Click Yes to delete the selected records. If you do not want to delete the records, click No.
