- Click Enabled on the Destructive Features screen.
Delete All Work Type Instances
You delete work type instances in Modeller.
- Select Launchpad > Modeller > Work types.
- Find the work type whose instances you wish to delete, click the burger menu and select Delete all instances.
- In the warning box - enter the work type name to confirm these are the correct work type instances you are deleting. Pay attention to the warning; this action is unrecoverable.
- Click Confirm Deletion.
- In Admin, disable the tool feature again so that work types and their instances are not accidentally deleted.
Rebuild indexes
After using the nuke tool, you need to rebuild the indexes to remove any ‘ghost’ rows on list views, etc., for the deleted instances. For more information, see Diagnostics: Manage Search Indexes.
Review
You have learned how to enable and disable the ShareDo instance nuke tool feature and delete work type instances.
Caution
This will hard delete any instances of this work type and any child instances such as tasks, instructions etc.
This action is unrecoverable, and should only be done after verifying a full backup, and the system MUST NOT BE IN USE when this is executed or deadlocks will likely occur, which may result in the system being unusable.
