Delete a topic workflow configuration

1. In the left navigation pane, click the Settings icon ().
2. In the Configure System section, click Manage Topic Workflow Configurations.
3. Click the Row Action menu () for a configuration, and then click Delete.
4. On the Delete Workflow configuration page, choose:
   • Remove Reference only—Deletes the configuration by reference.

     The configuration and any existing topics, including all comments and the associated attachments, are no longer accessible from the application. However, all of the data remains in the database and can be re-imported if necessary.

   • Delete permanently—Deletes the configuration from the database, along with all topics, including all comments and attachments associated with them. You must be a superuser to delete a topic workflow configuration permanently.

     A message informs you that for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, you must print each topic for the topic workflow configuration and export tables from the Oracle account. Before you print the topics, verify that the topic workflow configuration options that allow addition of comments to topics, actions, and attachments are all checked. This assures all comments are included, even if these settings were changed in the topic workflow configuration over time.
