Delete a Facility Survey Folder

Deleting a survey folder removes all references to the survey folder throughout PCS. For example, when facility inspection records have been assigned to a survey folder you plan to delete, PCS removes references to the survey folder for each inspection record assigned to the survey folder. Inspection records are not deleted however, only references to the survey folder are deleted.

Deleting a 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.
