Deleting a room

You can delete a room that is no longer in use. SirsiDynix Portfolio considers a room to be in use if it is available in at least one profile and will not let you access this feature until the room is unavailable in all profiles. When you delete a room, you cannot restore it. The children of that room become detached branches that you cannot access in the room tree. You can attach the rooms to any node of the tree in the Manage Detached Rooms page. (For more information, see Attaching detached rooms .)

Only a system administrator can delete a room.

Changes you make to the room tree structure or to room content will not be available to patrons until you run the SD_CONTENT_EXTRACTOR task. (For more information, see Managing scheduled tasks .)

To delete a room

Note: You must log in to an account with system administrator rights.

Choose Manage Rooms from the navigation pane.

Navigate to the room where you want to delete a child room.

Important: You cannot delete a room that is available to any profile. For information about making the room unavailable to all profiles, see Managing the availability of rooms to a profile.

In the confirmation prompt, choose OK to delete the room, or Cancel to return to the Manage Rooms list without deleting the room.
