Batch Delete of Contacts
This solution describes how to Batch Delete Contacts. If you need to correct an error from an import or delete contacts from prior years that are now out of date, use the Batch Delete tool to remove a group of contacts found with the Contact QuickSearch. (3411)
Big Business includes the ability to Batch Delete Contacts. Because this Delete is permanent, you should exercise proper caution in its use. Refer to the section on Employee Access Privileges for restricting Access to the Batch Delete tool. You may also want to Back Up your Company data file, or export the selection of Purchase Orders you are attempting to Delete, prior to deleting them.
To Batch Delete Contacts, using the Contact QuickSearch:
1. Find the Contacts you'd like to Delete.
Keep in mind that Contacts include the Additional Contacts for Customers and Vendors.
2. Click the Batch Delete tool to Delete all Contacts in the current List.
Big Business will display a confirmation dialogue offering to Continue or Cancel.
3. Select Continue to permanently Delete all Contact in the list.
If you select one Contact in the List and click Batch Delete, Big Business will display a dialogue with a choice of Deleting the selected Contact, Deleting all Contacts in the List, or Canceling.
Contact Batch Delete is particularly useful if you import a large number of Contacts as prospective Customers or Vendors. Using the Import Tag feature in Big Business, e.g. "Imported 12/25/98," or the QuickChange found in Contact QuickSearch can make easy work of keeping your prospect list.
