Delete a Continuous Survey Folder

Deleting a continuous survey folder in Survey Folder Maintenance also deletes survey readings associated with the survey folder.

Deleting a continuous survey folder typically occurs when you want to clean up data that is no longer needed or when a survey folder has been created accidentally. A message displays listing all facility records assigned to the survey folder allowing you to either cancel the operation or delete the survey folder.

Compete the following steps to delete a continuous survey folder:

  1. Click Modules > Indirect Survey Manager (ISM) to open the ISM module.

  2. Click Data Entry > Continuous Survey Folder Maintenance to open the Continuous Survey Folder window. The window that opens is dependent on the type of continuous survey selected from the top row of tabs (CIS, AC CIS, DCVG, ACVG, ACCA, Soil Resistivity, or ILI). The example below has CIS selected.
