Deleting Records in Coreo

3 minutes

There may be circumstances where you need to delete records you have added to a Coreo project. You can do so in both the Admin Area and the Coreo App. For UKHab records, the UKHab Portal can also be used.

Only project Admins are able to delete and restore records.

Coreo App

Records can be deleted directly in the Core App.

To start:

Select the record you wish to delete and click the blue button to open the record.

Tap the 3 dots in the top right corner of the screen.

Select ‘Delete Record’ from the drop down menu.

You’ll now see there is a red bar across the top of the record view annotated with ‘This record is pending delete.’ This means that the record is marked for delete. Your record will remain in your project until you sync your project.

If you change your mind about deleting your record it can be restored

Note: Should you wish to restore this record you must do so prior to syncing your project.

To restore your record:

Click the 3 dots again
Select ‘Restore Record’ from the drop down menu

Coreo Admin Area

You can delete records in the Coreo Admin Area either as a single record or using bulk delete.

Deleting a Single Record in the Detail View

To start:

Open the Records tab in the Admin Area

Then open the record you wish to delete by clicking the Record Id

The record detail view is now open.

Next, click the Admin tab, above the map

The Delete Record option will now be available to you.

Click the red ‘Delete Record’ button

You will be asked for confirmation before the record is deleted, as stated in the dialogue box users with the Project Admin Role are able to restore these records.

If you are happy to continue press the Delete button and the record will be deleted

You will receive confirmation your record has been deleted successfully in the bottom right corner of the screen. You will also be able to restore your record by clicking the blue ‘Restore’ button if you deleted the record in error.

When you return to the records page you will see that the deleted record is no longer available in the list of records or visible on the map.

Deleting Multiple Records in the Records View

You can also delete records from the records page itself, this includes the ability to delete multiple records at once.

WARNING: There is no confirmation before deletion using this method, ensure that you have selected the correct records before proceeding.

Once again open the Records tab in your chosen project

Select the record(s) you want to delete.

To select multiple records:

Hold the ‘control’ key on windows or the ‘command’ key on Mac and then click the records you wish to select. This method allows you to select non-contiguous records in the table, as shown below.

To select a range of contiguous records instead, use the Shift key.
Then click the Edit button and hover your cursor over the Delete option in the menu and choose the appropriate option – either “All” or “Selected” records.

The number of records you will be deleting is shown in brackets.
