1. | If you have mistakenly created a field, call up the field overview by clicking on Administration and Edit profile fields in the navigation bar. |
2. | At the end of the line with the field you want to delete, click on the Delete symbol. |
3. | For security reasons, there is an intermediate step where you are asked for confirmation that you do indeed want to delete that field. Possible answers are the Delete or Cancel buttons. |
4. | Before deleting, the OpenEMM checks whether the field in question is being used in other program functions. If for instance you defined a target group using the field, the system will not accept your order to delete it. You will have to delete the target group first. |

Please note: You should be extra careful before you delete a database field. Deleting the field also deletes all data entered into that field in the meantime. Once deleted, data cannot be restored.
