Deleting Search Lists

Managers are allowed to delete any search list, regardless of owner. Unit Managers are allowed to delete search lists that they created for personal use and search lists created by other users in their business unit. Scanners and Readers are only allowed to delete search lists that they created for personal use.

 

To delete a search list:

1.    Select Search Lists from the left menu, under Tools.

2.    Select the check box next to each search list you want to delete and then select Delete from the Actions menu. Note that you can select the check box at the top of the left-hand column to automatically select all search lists on the page. You can increase the number of rows displayed on the page from the View menu.

3.    Click Apply.

A Warning message appears notifying you that deleting the selected search lists may result in invalid business objects. Click the View Report button to see a list of option profiles, report templates and remediation policy rules that the search list is currently assigned to. The report will also list scheduled tasks with conflicts. Conflicts occur with scheduled tasks when the scheduled tasks are assigned invalid option profiles. Edit the affected business objects to change the assigned search lists.

If no conflicts occur, then the message "You can safely proceed to the deletion" is shown.

4.    Click Delete to delete the selected search lists.
