Delete a machine permanently

Deleting a machine erases it together with everything attached to it. This action cannot be undone. If you only want to stop tracking it, prefer archiving.

  1. Step 1 : Open the machine editor

    Tap the cog-shaped icon on the machine's card (see edit a machine).

  2. Step 2 : Click Delete

    At the very bottom of the “Edit a machine” window, click “Delete this machine”.

  3. Step 3 : Read the confirmation

    A window warns you that the maintenance plan, the history, the readings, the work orders, the manual and the photo will also be deleted, and that the action cannot be undone. If you are not sure, cancel.

  4. Step 4 : Confirm

    While the deletion runs, the button shows “Deleting…”. The “Machine deleted” message then appears, and the machine disappears from the list.

Good to know

  • Only the manager (Administrator or Director) can delete a machine. The “Management access” level can open the edit window, but sees a message explaining that it cannot erase the machine; the entry and purchasing levels do not have the edit icon on the machine's card.
  • The machine's work orders are deleted too: the confirmation window mentions them.
  • If you hesitate, archive instead: see archive or restore a machine.
  • Faults already reported on this machine remain readable: the machine's name is kept on each report.
  • If an error occurs, a red message appears in the window and the button becomes usable again. Check the machine before trying again; if it looks incomplete (missing history or plan), write to us from “Help & support”.
