    Delete or deactivate locations
    In This Topic

    Locations may only be deleted if they have no major links to other records.

    Although a Location may not be deleted if it has major links, it may be deactivated it as long as it does not have any current links to active:

    • borrowers,
    • items,
    • loans,
    • reservations,
    • bookings,
    • requests,
    • events or event registrations,
    • collections (via stock rotation, shelf check, or restricted pickup locations),
    • policies,
    • mobile library routes,
    • home services rounds,
    • allocation patterns,
    • orders,
    • staff users

     

     To delete or deactivate a location:

    1. From the Module Menu select Maintenance, Circulation and then Locations.
    2. Select a location from the list.
    3. If the location can be deleted then you'll see a Delete button. If the location can be deactivated then you'll see a Deactivate button rather than a Delete button. If the location can't be deleted or deactivated then the Deactivate button will be disabled.
      • Click Delete, and then click Yes at the confirmation prompt.
      • Click Deactivate, and then click Yes at the confirmation prompt. Deactivated locations are highlighted in red.
    4. Click Save or Save & Close. The location is only deleted/deactivated when you save your changes.
