Deleting a room

You can delete a room that is no longer in use. Portfolio considers a room to be in use if it is available in at least one profile and will not let you access this feature until the room is unavailable in all profiles. When you delete a room, you cannot restore it. The children of that room become detached branches that you cannot access in the room tree nor find in searches. You can attach the rooms to any node of the tree in the Detached Rooms page. For more information, see Attaching detached rooms.

Only a system administrator can delete a room. If you do not have the administrative privileges to perform this task, talk with your library's administrator for additional help.

Changes you make to the room tree structure or to room content will not be available to patrons until you run the SD_CONTENT_EXTRACTOR task. For more information, see Scheduled Tasks.
