You can delete affiliation and issue codes if they have not been used in any People, correspondence, or other records. If the code has been used, you must archive it. Other codes cannot be deleted and must be archived.
To delete a code:
Click a module tab.
Click the Codes submenu link to display a list of all available codes for that module. For example, when you click the Codes submenu link in the People module, you'll see a list of all People codes.
Click the code file containing the code you want to delete. For example, click Affiliation to delete an affiliation code. The number and order in which the codes appear is set in your People user Preferences.
Click the code ID to go to the code you want to delete.
Select the Delete action. This action will be unavailable if the code is used in a record. Once you select the Delete action, the code is deleted, and you are returned to the code listing.
