Delete a Pick List Item

If an item was added to a pick list by mistake, you can permanently delete it.

Note: Do not delete values appropriate for the pick list or those being used by other departments. You can deactivate those values instead.

To delete an existing pick list item

Note: At the department level, you can only delete an inactive, department-specific entry.

1. From any page, go to Administration: Pick Lists.

2. From the table, select the pick list that contains the item you want to delete. That pick list's page opens.
   

3. For DOH Administrators, from the NEMSIS version drop-down, select the NEMSIS version of the pick list that contains the item you want to delete.

4. If the item you want to delete is active, deactivate it.

5. Once deactivated, in the Inactive section, locate the appropriate item and click its associated Delete link.

6. When the confirmation window opens, click Yes. The item no longer appears in the pick list.
