Delete Task

This feature enables authorized users to delete a task that is no longer required, keeping the Task List accurate and free of unused tasks.

Before You Start

• Ensure that the Task Management app is enabled through Apps Manager by navigating to Settings from the main menu.
• You must have both the Delete Task and View Task permissions to use this feature.
• Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone after confirmation.

2. Steps

You can delete a task in two ways:

Method 1: From the Task List

1. From the main menu, click Task Management.
2. Click Tasks.
3. From the required task row, click the Actions icon, then select Delete. A confirmation message appears: “Are you sure you want to delete this task?” with two options: Yes and No.
4. Click Yes to permanently delete the task.

Method 2: From the Task Details Screen

1. From the main menu, click Task Management.
2. Click Tasks.
3. Click on the required task from the Task List.
4. Click Delete in the Actions bar at the top of the Task Details screen. A confirmation message appears: “Are you sure you want to delete this task?” with two options: Yes and No.
5. Click Yes to permanently delete the task.

How the System Works

• When you click No in the confirmation message, the message closes, no changes occur, and the task remains unchanged.
• When you click Yes in the confirmation message, the task is permanently deleted from the system and immediately disappears from the Task List.
• If the Task Details screen is open when the task is deleted, it closes automatically after deletion.
• The deletion action is recorded in the Activity Log.

Validation Rules

• A task cannot be deleted without confirming the deletion through the confirmation message.
• A task cannot be restored after it has been deleted.
• The Delete Task option is available only when the user has both the Delete Task and View Task permissions.
