 The ability to delete a fax record is only available by permission. Talk with a Champion if you do not have the ability to delete a fax record.

Once a received fax has been processed via one of the tasks above, because a copy has been made, it is recommended to delete the fax record from the Received Faxes view of the Faxes module.  By deleting the copy from the Faxes module, the data storage volume of your Procentive database is reduced.

To ensure the fax has been processed and is safe to delete, the best practice would be to have the staff who processed the fax add a Note stating as much.  This note will display on the Faxes module main page.

Additionally, if the fax has been copied, the Copied to column will display where it was copied to.

To delete the fax record,

1. Click once on the fax to highlight it. 
2. Click Delete in the top right-hand corner.
   • If the Delete button is not present, the staff's role does not have the delete permission.
