Client Record - How To Delete

The need to delete a Client Record should rarely arise, but we understand there are some circumstances that may require a Client Record to be deleted. Understand that once a Client Record is deleted, all data attached to the Client Record is unretrievable. Since all data associated with the Client would be deleted, we do not recommend making the process of deleting a Client a habit. 

Options instead of deleting.

For Clients who are in an "Active" status but have been inactive or have terminated, we recommend changing their status rather than deleting the Client, for historical accuracy. To change the status of a Client, click the “Edit” prompt (top right corner of the Client Record) and select a status using the “Client Status” dropdown. See screenshot below:

Prerequisites

In order to delete a Client, any Engagement associated with the Client Record will need to be deleted first. To delete an Engagement, access the Client Record and locate the Engagements module. Select the Engagement you wish to delete > click on the trash can icon in the top right corner of the module > confirm by using the orange "Yes, delete" prompt.

Depending on the number of Engagements the Client has, it can be a relatively quick or quite a tedious process. For Clients who have tens, hundreds, or thousands of Engagements, you can send a request to support@clientsuccess.com to have all Engagements deleted from the Client Record. 

If you do need to delete a Client Record.

As a reminder, once a Client Record is deleted, ALL data associated with the Client will be lost and IS NOT RETRIEVABLE. Exercise caution before completing the following process. 

In some instances, there could be multiple Clients with similar names. We recommend changing the name of the Client to include “- DELETE” at the end of the name. For example, if you have a Client named “Toyota”, we suggest changing the name of the Client to “Toyota - DELETE”.
