Use this page to remove a Template that you no longer need for future Report generation.

​
Objective

Delete a retired Template from the Templates page. For example, delete a Template when a new layout replaces the old one. Delete it when the report obligation no longer exists. Delete a Template created by mistake that has no operational use.

​
When to use

Use this task when:
  • the Template is retired.
  • operators should no longer select it when generating Reports.
  • a replacement Template already exists, if the reporting process continues.
  • the Template is incorrect and should not remain available.
Do not delete a Template just because one generated Report was wrong. Update the Template or the Report inputs, then generate a new Report.

​
Before you start

Confirm:
  • no active reporting process depends on this Template.
  • operators do not use it for the current reporting cycle.
  • a replacement Template exists when you still need the report.
  • you downloaded or archived any generated Reports that need external storage.
Deleting a Template is permanent. Reports already generated with that Template remain available on the Reports page, but new Reports cannot use the deleted Template.

​

Field guide

​
Expected result

The Template is removed from the Templates page and is no longer available in the Generate Report wizard.

​
Common errors and care points

You cannot generate future Reports from the deleted Template. Confirm the replacement workflow before deletion.
Update the Template instead of deleting it if you still need it. Take this path when the layout, output format, or name is wrong.
Generated Reports remain available on the Reports page. Deletion only removes the Template from future use.
