Delete Department? - ok2me - 05-13-2010 Is there a reason why there's no "Delete Department" function? Re: Delete Department? - Stephen - 05-13-2010 There was 10 years ago, but I really don't know what that reason was. It is a feature being added to a future version. I think the trouble comes when you have a department that has all sorts of users, permissions, and files assigned to it. When delete that department, what happens to all of those? I guess you could ask the admin which department to move everything to? Does that sound about right? Re: Delete Department? - ok2me - 05-14-2010 In my case I had just created a "test" department, added people/files, tried a few things to see how they worked, and then wanted to delete the "test" department. In the case of a more "mature" department, I suppose the choices could be: - getting rid of the department and resetting everything associated with it to some default value, - disallowing the delete until the admin had moved all the sub-objects out and the department was "empty" Owen Re: Delete Department? - Stephen - 05-14-2010 Ok, I am going to add this to the current feature request we have for "change department of a file". Both features go together. Thanks Re: Delete Department? - dannyb7 - 06-16-2010 Yes. This would be a great functional enhancement as I attempted to to the same thing as the original poster. Thanks -DB Re: Delete Department? - Stephen - 02-12-2011 Delete Department feature has been added to the latest 1.2.6 beta version. |
